Fine structure of the skin of the amphibious fishes, Boleophthalmus pectinirostris and Periophthalmus cantonensis , with special reference to the location of blood vessels
Abstract
The skin of the amphibious fishes, Periophthalmus cantonensis and Boleophthalmus pectinirostris, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In both species the epidermis consists of superficial nonvacuolated epithelial cells, swollen epithelial cells with membrane limited cytoplasmic vacuoles, and basal epithelial cells in a single layer. Unicellular mucous glands, but no chloride cells are found in the epidermis of B. pectinirostris; in contrast there are chloride cells and no unicellular mucous cells in P. cantonensis. Intraepidermal blood vessels are a notable feature in the epidermis of P. cantonensis. Capillaries are distributed near the epidermal surface, offering an air-blood barrier of sufficient thinness (2-4 μm) for cutaneous respiration. The large blood vessels (arterioles and venules) are seen in the middle stratum of the epidermis and seem to be able to regulate blood flow in the skin. In B. pectinirostris, the dermal capillaries lie immediately below the superficial epithelial cells at the apex of a dermal bulge where the air-blood barrier is almost as thin as that of P. cantonensis despite locally different histology. In the spacious dermal bulges, the dermal tissue such as blood vessels, pigment cells, fibroblasts, and collagen fibers are scattered. Melanophores and two other types of chromatophores occur in the part adjacent to the blood vessel wall. The organization of the epidermis and blood vessels of the skin is discussed with regard to t…

“Histological studies have shown that a number of species have capillaries close to the epidermal surface (Grizzle and Thiyagarajah, 1987; Park et al., 2000; Yokoya and Tamura, 1992), providing an effective surface for gas exchange (e.g. Bridges, 1988; Graham, 1973; Martin, 2014; Tamura et al., 1976).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
