Structural and histochemical study of the subcommissural organ in sheep

Deepa Saggar, Pawan Kumar, Suraj Kumar

Abstract

The subcommissural organ of sheep structurally had ependyma. subependymal glia zone and hypendyma. Pseudostratified columnar ciliated ependyma showed 3 types of cells. Basal cytoplasmic processes of ependymal cellsmainly constituted subependymal glia zone along with blood capillaries. nerve fibres and glia cells. Hypendymal cells were classified into 2 types. A strong PAS-reaction was present towards intercellular junctions and basal cytoplasmic processes of ependymal cells. A strong positive PAS- reaction and proteins were noticed in Reissner's fibre.
