The paper studies the functional morphology of quail hepatocytes. To conduct the research there was an electron-microscopic examination of quail liver. The structure of the nucleus and nucleolus were quantitatively assessed using objective methods of karyocytometry. Quail hepatocytes are found to have high synthetic activity. Hepatocyte karyocytometry enables to reveal hidden morphological characteristics of the cell ultrastructure being hardly detected under normal qualitative description of electron-diffraction photos. Quail hepatocyte karyocytometry indicates a pronounced structural and functional heterogeneity of hepatocytes. Therefore, electron-microscopic examination using karyocytometric methods is a highly informative method for assessing the morphological and functional state of the body and it should be used in assessing the impact of pharmacological agents on the body.
