Abstract
The uptake of radiocalcium by specific regions of the skin, eye, cartilage and mucous glands has been demonstrated with the help of integrated autoradiographs. Most of the calcium that enters the hair follicle is found in the keratogenous zone. In the skin and eye, it appears that Ca45 has entered by bio-synthesis while in the cartilage and mucous glands, that uptake of labelled Ca might represent cation adsorption by the sulfopolysaccharides. The autoradiographic record of Ca45 follows the distribution of the blue/white dust in the spodograms of skin, cartilage and mucous glands.Keywords
