Abstract:
:The study of the ileum of the ant Formica nigricans by light and electron microscopy revealed the existence of three differentiated regions: proximal, middle, and distal ileum. The middle region constitutes most of the length of the organ. Its wall is made up by a folded simple epithelium lined by a cuticle, which is surrounded by an inner circular muscle layer and various external longitudinal muscle fibers adjacent to the hemolymph. A subepithelial space is present between the epithelium and the circular muscle layer. Epithelial cells show extensive infoldings of the apical, and to a lesser extent the basolateral plasma membrane. Apical infoldings are characterized by the presence of 10-nm particles (portasomes) covering the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Mitochondria are abundant throughout the cytoplasm, although they mainly are present underneath the apical infoldings. Lateral borders of epithelial cells display an apical junctional complex, mainly constituted by a long and convoluted pleated septate junction. These features support the view that epithelial cells in the middle ileum are specialized in ion solutes and water transport. The proximal ileum connects with the ampulla into which the Malpighian tubules drain. As opposed to the middle ileum, epithelial cells of the proximal ileum show less developed basolateral infoldings, and the apical plasma membrane is devoid of portasomes and only occasionally invaginates. These features suggest that the proximal ileum plays no relevant role in ion and water transport. The distal ileum penetrates into the rectal sac, forming a valve-like structure; this region presumably controls the amount of urine reaching the rectum.
