title: The ultrastructure of specialized contacts between small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells in the inferior mesenteric ganglion of the guinea pig.
abstract: The plasma membranes of small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells in the inferior mesenteric ganglion of guinea pig have been investigated with thin section electron microscopy and freeze-fracture technique. Gap junctional elements and tight junctional strands were found between adjacent cells in the freeze-fractured material.
