Article Description

Specimens of the tracheal epithelium were obtairied from two sites in nine healthy horses by a fibre optic endoscope. Electron microscopic examination of 53 550 cilia revealed that 5.2 per cent of cilia were atypical. Nine hundred and seventeen (1.7 per cent) were compound, 78 (0.15 per cent) were swollen, 27 (0.05 per cent) were intracytoplasmic and 171 (3.35 per cent) had microtubular defects. These microtubular defects (159 peripheral and 12 central) were found in 5103 cross-sectloned cilia.
