  • Title: Three-dimensional development of bovine reticular cell (Cellula reticuli).
    Author: Takasaki M, Kitamura N, Hondo E, Cottrell DF, Yamada J.
    Journal: Eur J Morphol; 1998 Feb; 36(1):57-64. PubMed ID: 9526140.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the three-dimensional construction of the reticular cell, cellula reticuli, in bovine reticulum and its ontogenetic development. Reticular cells of fetal suckling calf and adult tissues were investigated both at the surface of intact mucosa and macerated samples using scanning electron microscopy. At the third month of gestation, the formation of the reticular cells on the mucosal surface started from the center of the cell and just above the reticular crest. The reticular crests were observed on the surface of the macerated sample at an earlier period of gestation (third month). In the eighth month of gestation, primary, secondary and tertiary reticular crests and papillae could be observed from the mucosal surface. Macerated samples showed that those structures were already formed completely under the epithelium by the first half of the seventh month of gestation. It is suggested that the development of the reticular papillae starts from the lower to the upper parts of the reticular cell.
