Abstract
The morphogenesis of head kidney haematopoietic cells in common carp has been shown to be very similar to that of higher vertebrates. The erythropoietic series consisted of the erythroblasts (basophilic, polychromatic and orthochromic), young erythrocyte and erythrocyte. The morphological changes that occur during maturation process are reduction in size and further increase at mature stage, gradual chromatin condensation and the increase in haemoglobin content. Maturation stages of neutrophils and basophils encompassed the young progranulocyte, progranulocyte and metagranulocyte. The early blast cells, basophilic lineage and lymphocytes were regularly present in kidney. In the monocytoid series in kidneys, promonocytes and mature monocytes were observed. Precursor stages of the eosinophile and thrombocyte were not discernible (although mature cells were observed). Lymphoid cells were the most abundant, followed by granuloid, thrombocyte, erythroid, blast and monocytoid cells. The neutrophilic progranulocyte was the most frequent granuloid cell. The lymphocyte was the most frequent cell in the kidney and the most numerous of the lymphoid lineage.Keywords
