Garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis, have four parathyroid glands that are similar histologically to those of other reptiles. A high percentage of the animals also possess accessory parathyroid tissue. Complete parathyroidectomy of the snakes produced severe depression of serum calcium values, tetani

The three-dimensional gross morphology of the pituitary gland of the garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) is presented. Hormone-producing cells of the pars distalis were localized immunocytochemically. Corticotropes and lactotropes occur in the anterior two-thirds of the gland; corticotropes are espec
The rejection of skin homografts i n the snake, Thamnophis sirtalis is preceded by a n infiltration of mononuclear cells into the graft bed. The initial arrangement of infiltrating cells in perivascular halos suggests that these cells emigrate from the blood stream of the host. A cytological study s
