Kinetodesmal fibers (kd) arise from the proximal ends of the
basal bodies (bb) and curve upward and to the cell’s right of
the kinety. Together with kds arising from more posterior basal bodies
they form a stack of overlapping fibers in the longitudinal ridge. A
ribbon of microtubules (pc mt) also arises from the proximal
end of the basal body and curves posteriorly passing to the right of
the kinety. The plasma membrane and outer alveolar membrane were
fragmented in this cell. poly, polysomes. EM taken on 11/2/68
by R. Allen with Philips 300 TEM. Neg. 20,500X. Bar = 0.2µm.
