Article Synopsis
- The liver plays crucial roles in metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification, and vitamin storage, acting as a key organ for fat-soluble vitamins and minerals such as iron and copper.
- A study was conducted using six healthy adult guinea pigs to analyze the liver's ultrastructure through scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, following ethical guidelines.
- SEM revealed liver parenchyma featuring lobular structures with cell plates and sinusoids, while TEM showed hepatocytes with distinct shapes and features, including a unique arrangement of endothelial and Kupffer cells along with spaces crucial for liver function.
The present study was aimed to study the light and electron microscopic studies of thymic Hassall's corpuscles was done in various age groups of Nandanam Chicken ranging from day-old to forty weeks. Hassall's corpuscles are special, unique structures present in thymic medulla and also in the cortex of all the age groups of Nandanam chicken (from hatch to forty weeks) in the present study. Size of the Hassall's corpuscles in the medulla is larger than the ones present in the cortical region of thymus.

Materials And Methods: The globes from the respective species were collected and the corneal epithelium was denuded. The expression levels of the different TLR mRNAs were assessed by densitometry of the band intensities following reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
We present a case of globosus amorphus delivered from a goat and subjected to radiography and histological examination. Radiography revealed a lack of development of any organ system; histological sections showed evidence of lymphoid aggregations, mononuclear infiltrations, blood capillaries, and dense fibroblasts.
