A METHOD OF MORPHOMETRY:MORPHOMEIRIC ANALYSIS ON TWO TYPES OF MAST CELLS / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

In the present study, stereological analysing methods were used to measure the nucleus, cytoplasm and secretive granules of mast cells in connective tissue and mucosa. It was found that there existed significant difference between them in nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, volume density, size and sphericity of granules. These quantitative results might be served as the main morphological parameters of distinguishing the two types of mast cells.
