The Effects of Insufflation Conditions on Rat Mesothelium
Figure 3
SEM showing mesothelial surface from rats 12 h after insufflation with room-temperature, dry CO2 for 2 h at 5 mm/Hg (group 2). Cells are distinctly rounded with some areas of cell flattening and separation (open arrow). Microvilli are collapsed and indistinct (arrow). Some invagination of the tissue suggestive of dehydration is evident in some regions: (a) original ×650; (b) original ×3500.
