Among nerve cells of vertebrates, the olfactory epithelia are uncommon in their capacity for cell turnover. Apoptosis is well known to play a key role in maintaining homeostasis in continuously renewing tissues. We examined whether true apoptosis occurred in the normal olfactory epithelia of healthy

Background: Turtles are adapted to different environments, such as freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats. Examination of histological and ultrastructural features of the dorsal lingual epithelium of the red-eared turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans, and comparison of the results with those of o
## Abstract Sustentacular cells have structural features that allude to functions of secretion, absorption, phagocytosis, maintenance of extracellular ionic gradients, metabolism of noxious chemicals, and regulation of cell turnover. We present data detailing their dynamic activity. We show, using
