Abstract：
The fiber cells of the middle layer of Trichoplax adhaerens are interconnected by slender extensions. Newly formed connections after mechanical disruption of the tissue studied in ultrathin sections revealed cytoplasmic continuity between the cell bodies, suggesting a syncytial organisation of the fiber cell layer. The slender extensions connecting the cell bodies are traversed by microtubules and microfilaments. The structure of rare osmiophilic cell contacts suggests a stage in the fusion of adjacent cell membranes.
摘要：
Trichoplaxadhaerens中间层的纤维细胞通过细长的延伸相互连接。在超薄切片中研究的组织机械破裂后新形成的连接揭示了细胞体之间的细胞质连续性，提示成纤维细胞层的合胞体组织。连接细胞体的细长延伸部分被微管和微丝穿过。罕见的嗜骨细胞接触的结构表明相邻细胞膜融合的阶段。
