摘要
Freeze-fracture techniques reveal differences in fine structure between the anterior 3 flagella of T. foetus and its recurrent flagellum. The anterior flagella have rosettes of 9-12 intramembranous particles on the P and E faces. The recurrent flagellum lacks rosettes but has ribbon-like arrays of particles along the length of the flagellum, which may be involved in the flagellum''s attachment to the cell body. This flagellum is attached to the membrane of the cell body along a distinct groove that contains few discernible particles. Some large intramembranous particles are visible on the P face of the cell body membrane at the point where the flagellum emerges from the cell body. The randomly distributed particles on the P and E faces of the plasma membrane have a particle density of 919/.mu.m2 and 468/.mu.m2, respectively, and there are areas on both faces that are devoid of particles. Freeze-fracture techniques also reveal numerous fenestrations in the membrane of the Golgi complex and .apprx. 24 pores per .mu.m2 in the nuclear membrane.
