Extract

1. The structure of the muzzle of the cow, its blood supply and the histochemistry of its glands have been studied.

2. The nasolabial glands are multilobular compound tubulo-acinar glands similar in structure to salivary glands. They secrete a watery mucincontaining fluid. It is suggested that they may be sweat gland homologues.

3. Arterio-venous anastomoses are present in the muzzle. Their possible function is discussed.

4. Although this investigation has shown how much the muzzle differs from the rest of the integument no particular function can be ascribed to it on the basis of the findings described.
