Description
Stacks of 4 or 5 kinetodesmal fibers occupy the longitudinal ridges in a cross-sectioned cell. The kds lie along the right side of each ridge (cell‚Äôs left side), and as the kds are tapered, the smallest cross sections lie closest to the ridge tip and these sections are also closest to the distal tips of the kds. Such a kd arose from basal bodies 4 or 5 cortical units posterior to the plane of the cross-section. Lateral ridges do not contain kds. TEM taken on 12/28/74 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A operating at 75kV. Neg. 17,500X. Bar = 0.25µm.
