The ultrastructure of specialized contacts between small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells in the inferior mesenteric ganglion of the guinea pig.
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.
