Morphology of the Non-Diseased Kidney of the Rhesus Monkey (Macaca mulatta) with Comments on Renal Physiology
Abstract
Gross, light and electron microscopic morphological observations of the kidney of the non-diseased rhesus monkey are presented. Where pertinent, certain parameters of renal function are reviewed and appropriate correlations made with the structure of the kidney. At the ultrastructural level, emphasis is placed on many morphological variations in the kidney that have been observed in these apparently non-diseased animals. In part, these variations appear to represent biological differences among individual animals exposed to a 'hostile' environment. Finally, morphological variations that can be ascribed to the method of tissue preservation that has been employed are stressed.
