Abstract
Previous investigators have reported that albuminous material in the albumin-secreting (tubular gland) cells of the magnum of hen oviduct accumulates in the ergastoplasmic cisternae and is released directly into the glandular lumen without being first concentrated into secretory granules in the Golgi region (Zeigel and Dalton, 1962). Present fine structural studies on the tubular gland cells in oviducts from actively laying wild-type Japanese quail and in an oviduct from an actively laying hen indicate that the Golgi apparatus is directly involved in the formation of secretory granules. At least three types of granules can be observed in the tubular gland cells at various times, and all types seem to be associated initially with the Golgi apparatus.
