Light and electron microscopic studies of the nutria (Myocastor coypus) pineal gland revealed pinealocytes interspersed among glial, vascular, and neuronal elements. Each pinealocyte possessed a single process that terminated within the parenchyma near the perivascular region. The eccentrically located nucleus in these cells contained euchromatic chromatin, a prominent nucleolus, and a highly infolded nuclear envelope. The cytoplasm was rich in mitochondria, Golgi complexes, and glycogen particles. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) was better developed thant he rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and polyribosomes were not abundant. Long profiles of subsurface cisterns constituted prominent cytoplasmic features, and these were most conspicuous in the regions of soma-somatic apposition. The bulbous endings of the pinealocyte processes were filled with clear, round, secretory vesicles. Dense-cored vesicles were rarely observed. Glia reminiscent of protoplasmic astrocytes displayed cytoplasmic processes that enveloped blood vessels, invested the pineal periphery, and intervened among the pinealocytes. They thus seemed to form a barrier between the meningeal capsule and vascular space on the one hand and the parenchyma on the other.
