摘要
Mature myoid cells in the parenchyma of reptilian thymus contain all the organelles typical of striated muscle. The presence of both immature and degenerating stages indicates a turnover of myoid cells in the adult thymus. In the earlier stages of differentiation myoid cells resemble thymic epithelial cells. A close parallel exists between developing myoid cells, skeletal muscle differentiating in vitro, rhabdomyoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. Elaborate lattice‐like structures are formed by transverse tubules. These structures are compared with similar configurations which have been described in muscle and mitochondrial cristae. Copyright © 1969 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
