مستخلص: A comprehensive light and ultrastructural examination of the cornea in Domestic Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) revealed four distinct layers: the anterior epithelium, corneal stroma, Descemet's membrane and endothelium. Although Bowman's layer was not distinctly identified through histology, histochemical analysis indicated the presence of a rudimentary Bowman's layer, possibly vestigial from evolution. Scanning electron microscopy of the outer corneal surface unveiled two cell types, characterized by micro-projections, with light cells exhibiting shorter, thicker projections compared to dark cells. Examination of the inner surface via scanning electron microscopy demonstrated an endothelial layer devoid of cilia and microvilli, yet faint round to oval elevations were observed, potentially representing cell nuclei. Transmission electron microscopy unveiled that basal cells of the anterior epithelium closely adhered to the basement membrane, featuring half desmosomes along the basal surface. These basal cells extensively interconnected through interdigitations and a few desmosomes. The superficial cell layer consisted of a few rows of closely attached flat cells, forming a leak-proof layer with zona occludens. The outermost cells of this layer displayed fine projections to enhance the surface area, facilitating tear film distribution. At lower magnification, Transmission electron microscopy of the corneal stroma revealed alternating light and dark bands, with light bands representing transverse sections of collagen fibril lamellae and dark bands corresponding to longitudinal or oblique sections. Spindle-shaped keratocytes (fibroblasts) were identified as the primary stromal cells, intermingled between the lamellae, and featured long processes in close contact with neighbouring keratocytes. Overall, the histomorphology of the pig cornea resembles that of the human cornea except indistinct Bowman's membrane. This detailed understanding of the normal corneal structure in pigs hold great significance for biomedical research, providing a valuable reference for studies involving this animal model.
