A composite of cross sections through the cilium-basal body complex extending from the cilium to the transition zone between the cilium and basal body and ending at the proximal tip of the basal body....

High resolution view of the contractile vacuole pore encircled on its cytosolic surface with microtubules. Other microtubules arise from these encircling microtubules and extend far out into the cell ...

Microtubules sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner, Westphal and Tiggemann, J. C...

Immunogold labeled microtubules next to the cytoproct radiate from basal bodies and also from the tip of the cytoproct. These microtubules lie along the approaching spent DV. b-tubulin immunogold labe...

High resolution image of microtubules that sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner...

Figure 320 & 321 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The disposition of the dynein arms along the length of the doublets is studied to best advantage in dissociat...
