Abstract:
Phase contrast and electron microscopical investigations on the gill of S. officinalis L., from the stage shortly before hatching to the adult stage, demonstrate peripheral respiratory epithelial areas and highly folded epithelia rich in mitochondria in the concave recesses of the gill lamellae. Enzyme histochemical and cytochemical findings, particularly the GOT [glutamic-oxalic transaminase] proof, suggest by analogy with the Cl cells of the teleosts that the cells of this 2nd type of epithelium are capable of active transport, and that they probably secrete ammonia. Apparently the gill of cephalopods serves respiratory and excretory functions.
