✦ Synopsis

TWELVE FIGURES

Numerous sebaceous glands and apocriiie sudoriparous glands open upon the surface of the external auditory meatus of the cat and secrete a yellowish or brown viscous cerumen. Concerning these glands, there is little information, although Teger ('06) and some early authors describe theni briefly. This paper presents some detailed morphological and cytochemical observations.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Nine normal adult cats ( 3 females and 6 males), and 9 kittens (5 females and 4 males) were used for this work.

Cerumen plays an important role in the protection of the external auditory meatus against several kinds of damage. Its hydrophobic properties, due to the high concentration of lipids, shelter the canal from physical damages, while other components probably protect against certain microbial strains.
