The cortex of Paramecium consists of a plasma membrane and alveolar sacs, with their inner and outer alveolar membranes that limit the area in which endocytosis can easily occur to only the parasomal ...

A grazing section through the cell’s surface shows segments of six rows of cilia running across the figure sectioned superfically at the top and deeper into the cell as one progresses down the figur...

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...

High resolution image of cross sections of basal bodies at the level of their attachments to the kinetodesmal fiber, the anterior basal body is attached by a thin bridge. The proximal ends of one post...

A high resolution micrograph of the transverse microtubular ribbon, consisting of ~3 microtubules, extends to the cell's left of the basal body and rises to the top of the ridge where it ends. Thus th...

The proximal end of the basal body is sometimes the origin of other single microtubules or bundles of microtubules that extend deeper into the cell’s endoplasm. These guide trichocysts, tip first, t...

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...
