Histology of the androgenic gland in Eriphia verrucosa (Forskål, 1775) (Decapoda, Brachyura)

Bu çalışmada Eriphia verrucosa (Forskål, 1775)’nın androjenik bezi histolojik olarak incelenmiştir. Işık mikroskobu çalışmalarından elde edilen sonuçlar bu türde androjenik bezin iki tip hücreden oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Birinci tip hücreler küçük ve salgı ürünü içermemektedir. Ikinci tip hücreler oldukça büyüktür ve protein karakterli salgı üretebilmektedirler. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, ekonomik açıdan önemli bir brachyuran yengeci olan Eriphia verucosa’da androjenik bezin bulunduğu yeri, yapısını ve androjenik bezleri oluşturan hücrelerin salgılarının kimyasal içeriği belirlenmiştir.

Eriphia verrocosa (Forskål, 1775) (Decapoda, Brachyura)’da androjenik bezin histolojisi

This study investigated the histology of the androgenic gland in Eriphia verrucosa (Forskål, 1775). The results obtained with light microscopy show that the androgenic gland in this species consists of 2 cell types. Type 1 cells are small and do not contain a secretory product. Type 2 cells are considerably larger and may produce a proteinaceous secretion. This study identified the location and structure of the androgenic gland in Eriphia verrucosa, which is an economically important brachyuran crab, and revealed the chemical nature of the secretions produced by its cells.
