摘要: 扁桃体位于消化、呼吸道的开口处,对于机体的免疫防御有着重要作用。本试验对15头5月龄猪扁桃体的解剖位置、组织形态和超微结构进行了研究。结果发现:猪的扁桃体由软腭扁桃体、会厌两侧扁桃体、咽鼓管扁桃体和咽扁桃体组成。软腭扁桃体和会厌两侧扁桃体位于口咽通道,黏膜上皮为复层鳞状上皮,上皮凹陷形成许多隐窝,上皮下分布有大量的胶原纤维。扁桃体的实质部分主要由大量的淋巴小结和弥散淋巴组织构成。此外,在弥散淋巴组织中分布有较多的由立方上皮构成的毛细血管后微静脉。咽鼓管扁桃体和咽扁桃体分布于鼻咽通道,咽扁桃体位于鼻咽的顶部,咽鼓管扁桃体则分布于咽鼓管与鼻咽通道交界处的周围,二者相互延伸,甚至相连。咽鼓管扁桃体和咽扁桃体的上皮主要由几层扁平上皮组成,上皮层数较少,部分区域只有单层细胞,上皮细胞间隙较大,其中分布有少量淋巴细胞。紧贴在上皮下面为大量淋巴组织,主要是由淋巴小结以及周围的弥散淋巴组织组成。有些淋巴小结与黏膜上皮相连。本研究结果表明:猪的咽扁桃体和咽鼓管扁桃体的结构非常有利于抗原的捕捉和递呈,可为呼吸道免疫提供充分的理论依据。

Abstract: The tonsils of the pig were lymphoepithelial organs situated on the opening of both digestive and respiratory tracts. The morphology and ultramicrostructure of the various tonsils were studied on 15 pigs aged 5 months. The results showed that there were four tonsils in pig. The soft palatine tonsil and Paraepiglottic tonsil were both located on oropharynx tract. They consist mainly of secondary lymph nodules and were encapsulated in dense connective tissues. The stratified squamous epithelium covering the tonsils and their crypts was frequently infiltrated heavily by lymphocytes. The pharyngeal tonsil and tubal tonsil were situated on nasopharyngeal tract. The epithelium covering the tonsils was squamous epithelium that often distributes sparsely in some surface regions. The intercellular junction of the epithelium was looser, and the intercellular space was larger compared to other epithelium. These tonsils consist of scattered lymph nodules, aggregations of lymphocytes and diffuse lymphoid tissue. The feature of pharyngeal tonsil and tubal tonsil was benefit for the antigen absorption and presentation,and provide the sufficient evidence to intranasal immunization.
