The buccal cavity has oral ciliature on its left side and a paroral kinety (pak) consisting of only one row of basal bodies and cilia on its right side. A cytopharynx (cp) with microtubular lamellae arises to the right of the paroral kinety where it will continue deep into the cell (see Fig. lf and Fig. lh) as a cytopharyngeal tube accompanied by the microtubular lamellae (l). A thick layer of microtubules (mt) covers one side of the buccal cavity. al, alveolus; per, peroxisome; m, mitochondria (expanded and condensed). e, endosomes. EM taken on 3/12/71 by R.
