Description

Figures 278 (upper) and 279 (lower) from Chapter 8 (Lysosomes) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Multivesicular bodies and lysososmes in human epididymal epithelium. Upper panel, arrows indicate candidate sites of vesicle budding during internalization; Numbered arrows in the lower panel suggest a sequence in the development of multivesicular bodies. Images by Anita Hoffer. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
