Description

The three-dimensional ultrastructure of connective tissue fibers at the muscle -tendon junction of the rabbit tongue muscle, which was treated by NaOH solution, was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Muscle fibers of the transverse and vertical muscles of the tongue were covered with a network of endomysial fibers and perimysial fibers consisting of collagen fiber bundles running in the direction of the long axis of the muscle fiber. The perimysial fibers ran in a slightly spiral manner, and densely surrounded the area at the ends of the muscle fibers. There were sporadical impressions of muscle fiber ends entering the lingual aponeurosis, and these impressions were partitioned by endomysial fibers to form small impressions. The small impressions were revealed to eventually form micro-impressions of about 0.35μm in diameter. The diameter is larger than that of the digitate process known by transmission electron microscopy, probably because the thick basement membrane around the digitate process has been digested.
