Resumen:
The ultrastructure of the olfactory mucosa of the armadillo Dasypus hybridus was studied. A comparison
with the olfactory mucosa of another armadillo (Chaetophractus villosus) was made. The olfactory mucosa ofDasypus hybridus was studied. A comparison
with the olfactory mucosa of another armadillo (Chaetophractus villosus) was made. The olfactory mucosa ofChaetophractus villosus) was made. The olfactory mucosa of
D. hybridus shows many features which are similar to those of other mammals. Interestingly, it differs from
the olfactory mucosa of the armadillo C. villosus. A suggestion is made that these differences may be due to
differences in the digging habits of these species. In Dasypus, the supporting cells (SCs) showed dense
vacuoles, multivesicular bodies and lysosome-like bodies probably related with the endocytotic system. The
SCs show a dense network of SER presumably associated with xenobiotic mechanisms. The olfactory
receptor neurons exhibit lysosome-like bodies and multivesicular bodies in their perikarya. These organelles
suggest the presence of an endocytotic system. Duct cells of Bowman's glands exhibit secretory activities.
