  • Title: Ultrastructure of the paraphysis in Bufo bufo larvae.
    Author: Farnesi RM, Tei S, Vagnetti D, Santarella B, Pollacci P.
    Journal: J Morphol; 1994 Jan; 219(1):7-13. PubMed ID: 8114107.
    Abstract:
    A study of the ultrastructure and function of the paraphysis in Bufo bufo larvae was carried out. The structure is a tubular-ramified gland made up of numerous tubules with monolayered epithelial walls surrounded by connective tissue and sinusoids. The epithelial cells secrete glycoprotein to contribute to production of the cephalorachidian fluid. The role of the paraphysis in the transport of fluids and electrolytes from the blood to the cephalorachidian fluid in regulation of ionic and osmotic homeostasis is discussed.
