To evaluate the morphological and functional changes of the hepatic cells of hybrid chick according to its growing stages, the volume of cytoplasm, nucleus and nucleolus were measured in 10 specimens of each group; the group of 2nd day, 14th day, 2nd month, 5th month and the group of 11th month after hatching.
The results were as follows;
1. The volume of nucleus and nucleolus was increased from the 2nd day to the 14th day after hatching (actively growing period) and from the 5th month to the 11th month after hatching (the period of hypertrophy). The volume chage of cytoplasm appears oppositely to that of nucleus and nucleolus.
2. The nucleoplasmic index was increased at actively growing period and the period of hypertrophy, and the ratio of nucleolar volume to nuclear volume was increased at actively growing period, but unchanged at the period of hypertrophy.
