“…We identified three types of granules in the cytoplasm of heterophils. Similar results are reported in the heterophils of chickens (Daimon & Caxton-Martins, 1977), while two types of heterophil granules are identified in the ostrich (Bonadiman et al, 2009) and in quail (Mustafa & El-Desoky, 2020). In ultra fowl, four types of granules are recognized (Mohd, Mrigesh, Singh, & Singh, 2016).…”

The morphological characteristics of the ileum of 20 adult male Egyptian geese were determined using LM, SEM, and TEM. The mean length of the ileum in the male goose was approximately 158.71 mm, representing nearly 10.19% of the total length of the small intestine. The ileum is composed of four layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscular layer, and serosa. The mucosal layer comprises the epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosa. The mucosa forms finger-like villi and is invaginated at the bases, forming the crypts of Lieberkühn. The ileum is lined by simple columnar epithelium that contains absorptive dark and light enterocytes with two types of goblet cells (mucous and serous varieties) microfold like cells, dendritic reticulum cells, Paneth cells, and a closed type of enteroendocrine cells. The lamina propria has diffuse lymphoid tissue containing lymphocytes, macrophages, mast cells, plasma cells, and heterophils as well as telocytes. The muscularis mucosa comprises circular smooth muscle fibers extending into the core of the villi. The submucosa is a thin layer of elastic-rich connective tissue. The muscular level consists of four layers, with light and dark smooth muscle fibers. We described in detail the structure of all cellular components and histomorphometric measurements. Highlights1. This study investigates the anatomical and histological structures of the ileum of male geese using light and electron microscopy and histomorphometric measurement. This study provides basic information for future experimental studies.2. We have described in detail the structure of all cellular components (including enterocytes, Paneth cells, Entero-endocrine cells, immune cells, telocytes, two types of goblet cells, and dark and light smooth muscle fibers).

the current study investigated telocytes (tcs) in the intestinal bulb of Grass carp using light microscopy (LM), transmission electron microscopy (teM), scanning electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry (iHc). By LM, tcs were distinguished by the typical morphological features that had a cell body and telopodes using He, toluidine blue, methylene blue, Marsland silver stain, Grimelius's silver nitrate, Giemsa, PAS, combined AB pH2,5/PAS, Crossmon's and Mallory triple trichrome, Van Gieson stains, Verhoeff's stain, Sudan black, osmic acid, performic acid with methylene blue and bromophenol blue. TCs were identified under the epithelium as an individual cell or formed a TCs sheath. They detected in the lamina propria, between muscle fibers, around the myenteric plexus and fibrous tissue. TCs acquired immunological features of endocrine cells that exhibited high affinity for silver stain, performic acid with methylene blue, Marsland stain, and immunohistochemical staining using chromogranin A. Sub epithelial tcs were closely related to the endocrine cells. tcs and their secretory activities were recognized using acridine orange. TCs were identified by IHC using CD34, CD117, S100-protein, desmin. TCs formed a3D network that established contact with macrophage, mast cells, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, smooth muscle fibers, fibroblast, Schwann cells and nerve fibers. In conclusion, the localization of TCs in relation to different types of immune cells indicated their potential role in the maintenance of intestinal immunity. Interstitial cells have critical roles in the maintenance of the appropriate 3D scaffold and functional requirements of the organs. Telocytes (TCs) are the cell population that forms a network through a labyrinthine system formed by telopodes. They are long and slender prolongations reached up to hundreds of microns. Telopodes are identified by their segments; the thin segment, podomer and the thick segment, the podoms. TCs established contact to other resident cells or to wandering cells via their telopodes or via the cell body. Telopodes network provide-long-distance cell-cell signaling (intercellular communication) 1. Paracrine signaling is critical for TCS function. TCs produce several secretory molecules and factors contributing to the functional significance.Gene analysis 2 and proteomics analysis 3 are investigated for TCs. The functional contributions of TCS are supposed to be related to angiogenesis 4 , and development, maintenance of homeostatic balance 4 , immunosurveillance 5 , tissue regeneration and repair through providing adequate microenvironment for stem cell niche and promoting their differentiation 6,7. TCs are identified in a wide variety of organs from diverse species including mammals 8-11 , avian 12,13 , reptiles 14 , Amphibians 15 and aquatic species 16,17 and parasitic worm 18. They are located in the trachea and lungs 19 , heart 20 and the blood vessels 21 , kidney, ureter, urinary bladder 22 , tongue 23 , oesophagus, stomach and small and large
