  • Title: [Mechanisms of development of the dome in the semicircular canals of birds. II. Cellular reorganization].

    Abstract:
    A light microscopic study of the epithelia of the crista ampullaris of the semicircular canals of the embryonic chicken indicates that the epithelial cells undergo irregular degenerative changes, with continual mitotic replacement of surface cells. The cupula develops over the surface epithelia through vesicular secretions containing acidophils fibrillar material mixed with globular formations derived from fragmentation of the surface epithelial cells. Electron microscopic studies demonstrate the mode of secretion of rounded or oval supraepithelial bodies from surface epithelium, contributing to the development of the cupula ampullaris. These observations provide evidence of cytoplasmic contributions of surface epithelial cells of the crista ampullaris contributing to the development and continued reorganization of the cupula ampullaris during embryonic development.
