Histological study of the skin in yellow-headed water monitor (Varanus cumingi)
Data on histology of skin in yellow-headed water monitor Varanus cumingi MARTIN, 1839 are not available in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the histological features of the skin in the selected lizard species. Tissue samples of skin were taken from the dorsal part of the body of one lizard and fixed in 10% buffered formalin solution. The fixed material was embedded in paraffin and sectioned with microtome at 6 μm. The sections were stained using different methods: hematoxylin and eosin, Masson’s trichrome, Verhöeff - Van Gieson, alcian blue - PAS reaction and the special method for visualization of reticulin fibers. The general structure of the epidermis and the dermis were studied by light microscopy using an Olympus BX41. The skin consists of the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is thin and consists of several cell layers. The basal layer has cuboidal to columnar cells with round nuclei that lie on the basement membrane. The cornified layer consists of an alpha-keratin layer, mesos, beta-keratin layer and Oberhäutchen layer. The dermis is composed of superficial and deep parts. The superficial part consists of loose connective tissue, while the deep part is thicker and consists of dense irregular connective tissue. Melanophores are found between different layers of the epidermis and the dermis. In this study, we have shown the histological features of the skin in Varanus cumingi, which is a rare lizard species.
