Quantification of apical junction region (AJR) width shows there is apparently no growth of AJRs in supporting cells of the sensory epithelium and cells of the nonsensory epithelium as chickens develop and mature from postnatal day 0 (P0) to P365. The width of AJRs from ≥ 400 junctions from chickens from five different age groups was quantified. AJR width in supporting cells of the sensory epithelium (black squares; solid line is the average of all the age groups) and cells of the nonsensory epithelium (open squares; dotted line is the average of all the age groups) remains narrow throughout life (x-axis is on a logarithmic scale).
