title: Freeze fracture aspects of the spiral limbus.
abstract: Replicas of the freeze fractured spiral limbus are studied in chinchillas. Zonulae occludentes are demonstrated between the interdental cells and the inner sulcus cells; gap junctions are described connecting interdental cells and inner sulcus cells to one another and they are found between the perilymphatic cells in the spiral limbus.
