Pathological cilia in the tracheal mucosa of apparently healthy pigs
Journal of Submicroscopic Cytology and Pathology
|October 1, 1996
Abstract:
We have carried out a quantitative investigation on atypical cilia in the tracheal mucosa of apparently healthy pigs. The tracheal epithelium has compound cilia in a moderately higher number than has the porcine oviductal epithelium. It is likely that formation of compound cilia in trachea is due both to an altered ciliogenesis and to environmental pollutants.
