| Abstract | Light and electron microscopic techniques were employed to characterise the various cell types found in the distal tubules, collecting tubules and collecting ducts in the kidneys of wild starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). There was a gradual change in cell characteristics along the length of the distal tubule. A short transition zone was identified, between the distal tubule and the intralobular collecting tubule, which contained cell types that were characteristic of both segments. The end of the distal tubule was marked by the appearance of scattered dark cells and occasional mucin-secreting cells. The dark cells were electron-dense and usually possessed many microvesicles in the subapical region; there were also numerous, stubby apical microprocesses in many cases. In the basal regions of these cells were many, short, regular infoldings of the plasma membrane. The initial part of the intralobular collecting tubule was lined by approximately equal numbers of dark and mucin-secreting cells. However, as the tubule progressed towards the lobular periphery, the number of dark cells declined. Few dark cells were observed in the perilobular collecting ducts and none in the medullary ducts which were lined by columnar mucin-secreting cells. The mucin-secreting cells possessed a prominent supranuclear Golgi apparatus and apical vacuoles containing a strongly PAS- and alcian blue-positive mucigen. Critical electrolyte concentration methods, using alcian blue in the presence of magnesium chloride, indicated that the mucigen contained large amounts of a strongly sulphated component, but was probably of a mixed nature. The dark cells were slightly PAS-positive but only very weakly alcian blue-positive at the cell apices. The roles of the various cell types were discussed in relation to the uric acid excretion habit of birds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
