Mucosal surface morphology of the toad urinary bladder. Scanning electron microscope study of the natriferic and hydro-osmotic response to vasopressin

Abstract: The mucosal cell surface of the toad urinary bladder was examined by scanning electron microscopy, and changes in the structure of the surface of the granular cell were correlated with specific physiological responses to vasopressin. Survey views of the mucosal surface demonstrated that there was no consistent repeating anatomical relationship between the granular cell and the mitochondria-rich cell that would support the concept of cooperativeness in the response to vasopressin. During base-line states of Na+… Show more

“…There may be a change in the depth of the cells (measured from luminal to contraluminal plasma membrane). This is consistent with the appearance of the mucosal cells with ADH observed in the scanning electron microscope (Davis et aI., 1974;Spinelti, Grosso & de Sousa, 1975;Mills & Malick, 1978). However, this change in depth For each hem• the actual luminal plasma membrane length (the contour of the membrane including microvilli) of at least 8 consecutive granular cells was measured with a cartographer's wheel, The distance from tight junction to tight junction was measured with a cartographer's wheel by following the cell surface but excluding the microvilli and other irregularities.…”

“…In cells with massive secretory activity, such as mast cells, plasma membrane folds have been correlated with extensive secretion (Burwen & Sat• 1977b). In toad bladder, changes in surface topology at 30 rain ADH exposure would be expected and such changes are seen in scanning electron micrographs (Davis et al, 1974;Spinelli et al, 1975;Mills & Malick, 1978). Table 4, which presents ratios of the dimensions of experimental and control hem• demonstrates that our prediction is borne out.…”
