Features of Angioarchitecture of the Albino Rats Stomach and Small Intestine

Abstract

Introduction: The stomach and small intestine are important organs of the digestive system and, to date, they are the subject of research by morphologists, endocrinologists, immunologists, gastroenterologists, and other researchers. The aim: The paper is aimed at the study and systematization of the features of angioarchitecture of the albino rats stomach and small intestine. Materials and methods: The study based on the injection of the blood vasculature of abdominal organs of 20 albino male rats with 5% gelatin solution, colored with filtered black ink, was performed. The specimens were subject to photographing from different aspect angles in their original state, and then, after dehydration in alcohols with the transition to pure acetone, they were embedded in the epoxy. Photographing of the obtained specimens was made by a digital camera, as well as a binocular magnifier MBS-9, equipped with a digital photoattachment Sigeta DCM-900 9.0MP. Results and conclusions: The results of injecting of blood vasculature of albino rats’ gastrointestinal tract with ink mass clearly demonstrate the specific difference in the intraorganic angioarchitecture of its different regions, which depends entirely on their functional purpose in the digestive process. In the stomach, the highest concentration of blood microvessels is in its glandular part, which is explained by the increased nutrient needs of the secretory process of the gastric glands, while the mucous membrane of its fundus (pre-stomach) contains a scattered network of exchange microvessels that only promote the process of regeneration of the stratified squamous (partially keratinized) covering epithelium. In the small intestine, the typical principle of the organization of the microvasculature of its mucous membrane is somewhat modified in the duodenum, which is associated with the presence of mucous (Brunner’s) glands in it, as well as in those sites (starting from the duodenum) where the group lymph nodes (Peyer’s patches) are localized.

“…Отже, завдання зводиться насамперед до вибору найбільш відповідного виду лабораторних тварин, причому вирішальним чинником є мінімальність витрат при утриманні даних тварин і проведенні над ними експериментальних досліджень. Згідно з даними літератури, з метою експериментального моделювання перитонітів найбільш прийнятними є білі щури, оскільки вони у порівнянні з людиною мають подібну анатомічну будову внутрішніх органів [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…1 It is a physical process that involves chemical solutions reacting with biological specimens 2 for the purpose of discovering and defining the origin and causation of an illness through thorough patient examination and review of the test results. 3 The aim of tissue processing is to embed the tissue in a solid medium, 4 firm enough to support the tissue and give it sufficient rigidity to enable thin sections 5 to be cut, and yet, soft enough not to damage the knife or tissue. 6,7 For any tissue specimen to undergo diagnosis, it must follow procedures which include fixation and tissue processing.…”
