ULTRAESTRUTURA DEL ESTROMA E INTERSTICIO DEL EPID¨ªDIMO DEL PERRO (Canis familiaris, L.) %A B. C. Schimming %A C. A. Vicentini %J Revista chilena de anatom¨ªa %D 2000 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X The boundary tissue of the dog epididymal duct showed concentric lamellae of mioconnective tissue in which were observed elongated contractile cells, collagen, fibroblasts, fibrocytes, mast cells and amyelinic nerve fibers. This boundary tissue forms the periductal stroma and duct interstitium of the epididymis. The structure is described and compared with that of other mammals. El estroma e intersticio del epid¨ªdimo del perro se presentaron como un tejido conjuntivo, en el cual se presenta fibras musculares lisas, fibras col¨¢genas, c¨¦lulas conjuntivas, predominando fibroblastos, fibrocitos, mastocitos y fibras nerviosas amiel¨ªnicas. La organizaci¨®n del tejido conjuntivo del conducto epididimario fue comparada con la de otros mam¨ªferos. %K Epid¨ªdimo %K Perro %K Estroma %K Intersticio %K Ultraestructura %K Epididymis %K Dog %K Strome %K Interstitium %K Ultrastructure %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-98682000000200008
