Figure 415 from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of a Km fiber in a partially contracted Stentor coerulus. Ribbons o...

The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has a pair of anterior flagella that function in motility. In this image, the base of the flagella with basal bodies and associated structures are are cu...

Mouse tracheal epithelia cells (MTEC) were grown at air-liquid interface to induce differentiation, centriole amplification and ciliogenesis. Cells were fixed using ice-cold methanol for 10 min. Sampl...

Appriximately longitudinal section of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii showing one of the paired flagella, and the spherical nucleus surrounded by the single cup-shaped chloroplasts cont...

High resolution image of a tangential section of basal body pair (dikinetid) showing a connecting fiber linking the BBs as well as attachments to a kinetodesmal fiber, to postciliary microtubules, an...

A high resolution image of the base of a dikinetid deeper in the cell. A postciliary ribbon and other microtubules fan out from it's basal bodies. TEM taken on 6/3/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 oper...

The oral apparatus of Tetrahymena. The undulating membrane is composed of two rows of basal bodies but only the outer row is ciliated. Both basal bodies are fully formed but only the ciliated member h...

Cross sections of a pair of basal bodies showing the triplet makeup of the 9 fibers; only one microtubular fiber is complete in each triplet while the other two microtubular fibers share some subunits...

The scopula, stalk-forming region, is outlined by a circle of basal bodies that produce short modified cilia. Other basal bodies lie within this circle. The sheath is secreted outside the circle of ci...

During division new basal bodies develop accessory fibers and begin to move apart to take up a position equidistant between the older complexes. The new kinetodesmal fiber seems to be associated with ...
