Abstract: BAHIA, REZIN CAVIDA, University of the Philippines Los Banos, June 2003. Some Gross Anatomical Features of the Pancreas and Microscopic Anatomy of the Pancreatic Islets of Selected Frugivorous and Insectivorous Philippine Bats (Order Chiroptera). The endocrine pancreas of two frugivorous bats (Cynopterus brachyotis and Ptenochirus jagori) and two insectivorous bats (Hipposideros diadema and Myotis horsfieldi) were studied macroscopically and microscopically. The pancreas of frugivorous bats were elongated flat organs. On the other hand, the pancreas of insectivorous bats were somewhat flat, broad organs. The pancreas weight percentage is greater in insectivores than in frugivores. Histological slides were stained with H and E, Masson’s trichrome, Weigert’s method, silver stain, and chromium-hematoxylin-phloxine stain. Generally, the pancreatic islets were distributed unevenly. There were more pancreatic islets in frugivores than in insectivore species. The pancreatic islets varied in shape and sizes. Some are round-, oval- and irregularly-shaped. The pancreatic islet diameter was wider in frugivores than insectivores. Moreover, the study reveals wider islet diameter of frugivores than insectivores. Pancreatic cells were generally spherical in shape and were either evenly or in groups inside the islet. There were more pancreatic cells per islet in frugivores than insectivores. The endocrine cell diameter was smallest in Hipposideros diadema. Two cells types were observed in the pancreatic islets: dark and light staining cells. The dark-stained cells were noted to occupy the center of the islet while the lightly-stained cells were peripherally located.

Anatomy of the Pancreatic Islets of Selected Frugivorous and Insectivorous Philippine Bats (Order Chiroptera).

The endocrine pancreas of two frugivorous bats (Cynopterus brachyotis and Ptenochirus jagori) and two insectivorous bats (Hipposideros diadema and Myotis horsfieldi) were studied macroscopically and microscopically. The pancreas of frugivorous bats were elongated flat organs. On the other hand, the pancreas of insectivorous bats were somewhat flat, broad organs. The pancreas weight percentage is greater in insectivores than in frugivores. Histological slides were stained with H and E, Masson’s trichrome, Weigert’s method, silver stain, and chromium-hematoxylin-phloxine stain. Generally, the pancreatic islets were distributed unevenly. There were more pancreatic islets in frugivores than in insectivore species. The pancreatic islets varied in shape and sizes. Some are round-, oval- and irregularly-shaped. The pancreatic islet diameter was wider in frugivores than insectivores. Moreover, the study reveals wider islet diameter of frugivores than insectivores. Pancreatic cells were generally spherical in shape and were either evenly or in groups inside the islet. There were more pancreatic cells per islet in frugivores than insectivores. The endocrine cell diameter was smallest in Hipposideros diadema. Two cells types were observed in the pancreatic islets: dark and light staining cells.
