The Ultrastructure of the Corpus Luteum of the Goat
The ultra structure of luteal cells and the proportion of the different cell types in the functional corpus luteum of the goat were studied using the electron microscope. Two luteal cell types, large and small, were present in the corpus luteum of this species. The large more rounded luteal cell p...

| description |
The ultra structure of luteal cells and the proportion of the different cell types in the functional
corpus luteum of the goat were studied using the electron microscope. Two luteal cell types, large and
small, were present in the corpus luteum of this species. The large more rounded luteal cell possessed
numerous mitochondria and electron dense membrane- bound granules, extensive agranular
endoplasmic reticulum and granular endoplasmic reticulum which at times appeared as stacks of
closely packed cisternae. Few lipid droplets were present iri the luteal cell cytoplasma while whorled
agranular endoplasmic reticulum was absent. Interspersed amongst the large luteal cells were smaller
luteal cells with tapering cytoplasmic processes. These cells differed from the large luteal cells in that
they possessed fewer mitochondria and electron dense membrane- bound granules. Occasional nuclei
of the small luteal cells contained cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. |
