Abstract:
:The structure of the nephron in the ranid frog, Rana cancrivora, was studied by light and electron microscopy. This frog is the only amphibian species to live in mangrove swamps of very high salinity. The nephron consists of the following parts: renal corpuscle, ciliated neck segment, proximal tubule, ciliated intermediate segment, distal tubule, connecting tubule, and collecting duct. The distal tubule is located in the ventromedial region of the kidney, and the other tubules are situated in the dorsolateral region. Renal corpuscles are found between the two regions. Some renal corpuscles have a wide Bowman's space because of the small glomerulus within them. The proximal tubules are composed of columnar cells with a dense luminal brush border of long microvilli and numerous apical vesicles and vacuoles. The initial part of the distal tubule consists of heavily interdigitated cells, characterized by a very regular palisade arrangement of mitochondria. In the terminal part of the distal tubule, shorter mitochondria of the infolding cells are situated irregularly around the nucleus. The connecting tubule consists of principal cells and canaliculus cells. The collecting duct consists of columnar or cuboidal cells; cytoplasmic organelles are relatively sparse. The canaliculus cells are intercalated between principal cells from the terminal distal tubule to the proximal part of the collecting duct. Our findings indicate that the kidney of R. cancrivora is structurally similar to kidneys of other amphibians. These findings are discussed with regard to probable correlations between ultrastructure and function in R. cancrivora.
