Axons grow out along predictable routes to specific destinations. An EM study of the early development of one of the main chick wing nerves - the interosseous nerve - helps to show how they do it. The growing tip of the nerve appears frayed, consisting of nerve fibres occurring singly or in small bundles, taking slightly divergent paths. Most of these pioneer nerve fibres have the characteristic appearance of growth cones. They are not seen to advance along fibrils of the intercellular matrix (as one might expect from some tissue culture experiments), but instead are generally in close contact over their whole surface either with mesenchyme cells or with other nerve fibres. The same is true of the axons at more proximal levels of the developing nerve: they too are never naked, but always in contact either with other axons or with mesenchyme cells. Later nerve fibres follow the pioneers: their growth cones travel out in contact with the pre-existing axons, within the primitive perineurium formed by the enveloping mesenchyme cells, and most often close to the periphery of the fascicle.

A pathogen transmitted by the eriophyid mite, Aceria tulipae, infects a number of Gramineae producing symptoms similar to wheat spot mosaic virus (1). An electron microscope study of leaf ultrastructure from systemically infected Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, and Triticum aestivum showed the presence of ovoid, double membrane bodies (0.1 - 0.2 microns) in the cytoplasm of parenchyma, phloem and epidermis cells (Fig. 1 ).

Microgranules have been described with different names in keratinized and in nonkeratinized epithelium. In keratinized epithelium it seems clear that the microgranules are lamellated bodies bounded by a membrane which empty their contents into the intercellular space. Their existence in nonkeratinized epithelium is more debatable. Until now the so-called microgranules have been described in nonkeratinized bucal, lingual and cervical epithelium. In the present work we describe the morphology and nature of such structures in human vaginal epithelium.Biopsies from the midlevel of the vaginal mucosa were taken from voluntary fertile women. The specimens were divided into three groups with four vaginal specimens. The first group was obtained in the folicular phase; those of the second in the postovulatory phase and, finally, the last group corresponded to the secretory phase.
