Abstract:
During our observations solitary cilia have been noted in Sertoli cells, fibroblasts and myoid cells of the rat testes. They mostly presented a 9 + 0 pattern and appeared similar to those previously reported in other cell types. In the present report, we describe their structure and analyze their putative functional significance.
