SummaryThe blood-water pathway in respiratory lamellae of teleostean gills consists of an epithelial layer one or two cells thick, a basal lamina and a thin layer of cytoplasm which lines the blood lacunae. This layer of cytoplasm is formed by flange-like extensions of the pillar cells. The resulting location of the pillar cell perikarya between the surfaces of the blood lacunae is probably of paramount importance for maintenance of the flattened form of the lamellae.Collagenous bundles… CONTINUE READING
