| Abstract: | The purpose was to study the fine structure of the cells and the histochemistry of the mucosubstances of the porcine bulbourethral gland. The material comprised adult boars from the Danish Landrace, two for electron microscopy and 10 for ordinary histology and histochemistry. The methods included histology, electron microscopy and histochemical tests on mucosubstances. The fine structure of the cells and the histochemistry of the mucosubstances of the secretory granules were described. The functional aspects of the findings were discussed. |
