New and peculiar cytoplasmic membranous bodies in the acinar cells of the harderian gland of the armadillo Chaetophractus villosus.
A new and peculiar morphological feature in acinar cells of the Harderian gland of the South American armadillo Chaetophractus villosus (Mammalia, Dasipodidae) is reported. The gland of adult males and females was studied at macroscopic, microscopic and electron microscopic levels. The gland is the...
