Notizen: Spezifische Verbindungsstrukturen der Faserzellen von Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze/Special Connecting Structures between Fiber Cells of Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze

Abstract

Abstract In the primitive metazoan, Trichoplax adhaerens, the fiber cells are responsible for the change of shape. Electron microscopy reveals connections between protoplasmic strands of neighbouring cells marked by an osmiophilic disc-like structure. Possible functions are discussed.
