Figure 9: A photomicrograph of a cross section in the jejunum of adult male albino rat of group V showing:
a) nearly intact brush border (black arrows), increased mitotic activity (green arrows) and numerous goblet cells (arrow heads). (H & E X 200)
b) partial damage of villi with nearly intact brush border (black arrows), increased mitotic activity (green arrows) and numerous goblet cells (arrow heads). (H & E X 400).
c) distortion of the crypts (Cr) with flattening of its epithelial lining (yellow arrows), numerous goblet cells (arrow heads) and apoptotic like lesion (black arrow) with pleomorphism. (H & E X 400).
d) pleomorphic cellular changes with ghost nuclei (yellow arrows) and apoptotic like lesion (green arrows). (H & E X 400).
