Abstract

Abstract

The paired mandibular organs are located at the base of the mandibular tendon.The plasmamem brane of the glandular cells is convoluted,especially at the adjaction to the hemolymph channels.The cytoplasm has numerous smooth endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria with tubular cristae.In the maturation stage of the ovaries,the mitochondria grow up in number,a few of which change morpholog ically;the developed Golgicom plexes are frequently observed;the scatteredt SER reduces,while the highly convergedt SER increases;vastarrays of vesicles varying in size are located adjacent to the plasmamem brane;the degree of convo lution enhances.The structure change of this organ may associate with the increasing ability of synthesis and secretion of the mandibular organin .
