对爬行动物消化道嗜银细胞的研究已经有不少报道,这些研究结果表明爬行动物胃肠嗜银细胞的类型和分布不仅与哺乳动物不同,且在爬行动物各个种间亦存在着较大的差异。本文总结了爬行动物消化道嗜银细胞的形态学特征和分布规律,概述了分类地位、食性和栖息地环境与细胞分布型的关系。
The argyrophil cells of digestive tract have been studied in many reptiles. The types and distribution patterns of these cells were proved to be not only different from mammals, but also with intra-species difference. In this paper, the morphological characteristics of these cells and their distribution patterns were summarized and discussed with the relationship of classification status, feeding habits and habitat environment.
