- W2074469379 abstract "The avian eggshell is a composite structure of organic matrix and mineral (calcium carbonate) that is rapidly and sequentially fabricated in the oviduct in <24 hr. The eggshell is an excellent vehicle for the study of biomineralization processes and the role of the organic matrix in the mineral-matrix composite. The organic matrix components of eggshells from White Leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus) were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and optical microscopy. The mineral phase was analyzed by TEM, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray compositional microanalysis, and electron diffraction. Ultrastructural examination of the matrices within the calcified eggshell reveals a complex architecture that differs within each of the major zones of the eggshell: the shell membranes, the mammillary zone, the palisade region, and the cuticle. The mammillary layer consists of the calcium reserve assembly (CRA) and crown region, each with a unique substructure. TEM images show that the matrix of the CRA consists of a dense, flocculent material partially embedded within the outer shell membrane (a mostly noncalcified region of the shell). The mantle of the collagen fibers of the shell membranes is rich in polyanions (cuprolinic blue-positive), as is the CRA matrix. The CRA is capped by a centrally located calcium reserve body sac (CRB sac) that contains numerous 300-400 nm, electron-dense, spherical vesicles. Directly above the CRB sac is a zone of matrix consisting of stacks of interconnected vesicles (similar in morphology to CRA vesicles) that are interspersed with a granular material. The palisade region, the largest of the mineralized zones, contains hollow vesicles ∼450 nm (s.d. = 75 nm) in diameter, with a crescent-shaped, electron-dense fringe. An interconnecting matrix material is also found between the vesicles in the palisades region. The cuticle is composed of two layers, a mineralized inner layer and an outer layer consisting of only organic matrix. The bulk of the mineral within the eggshell is calcite, with small amounts of needlelike hydroxyapatite in the inner cuticle and occasionally, vaterite micro crystals found at the base of the palisade (cone) region. The well-crystallized calcite crystals within the palisade are columnar, typically ∼20 μm wide by 100-200 μm long; aside from numerous entrapped vesicles and occasional dislocations, they are relatively defect-free. The bulk of the matrix found in the palisade and crown regions are thought to be residual components of the rapid mineralization process. The unique matrix structure within the CRB corresponds to the region of preferentially solubilized calcite used by the developing embryo and the hydroxyapatite found in the inner cuticle may play a role in the cessation of mineral growth. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc." @default.
