Electron and confocal microscopy, using immunocytochemical methods, was employed to assess osmotic water permeability of the frog (Rana temporaria) urinary bladder during transcellular water transport, induced by antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or by wash-out of autacoids from serosal, ADH-free Ringer solution. The increase of osmotic water permeability of the urinary bladder was accompanied by relevant ultrastructural changes, the most remarkable being: (1) the appearance of aggregates of intramembranous particles in the apical membrane of granular cells, and the extent of the membrane area covered by the aggregates proportional to that of the water flow; (2) redistribution of actin filaments in the cytoplasm of granular cells; judging from the anti-actin label density, the number of actin filaments in the apical region of cytoplasm was reduced by 2.5-4 times compared with normal; (3) a decrease in the total electron density of the cytoplasm due to the increased water content of granular cells.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009994 Osmolar Concentration The concentration of osmotically active particles in solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. Osmolality is expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
