[Ultrastructural observations on the presence of stereocilia in myoblasts of Scyllium stellare].
Many Authors described primary 9+0 cilia in different tissue of different animal species. In relation to the study on the ultrastructural architecture of the embryonic heart of a elasmobranch "Scyllium stellare", we saw some primary 9+0 cilia in very undifferentiated heart tissue. The hearts dissected from the Scyllium stellare embryo at 6 months of gestation, were processed for the observations at the transmission electron microscope. The cilia are found in deep invagination of the plasma membrane, near the Golgi complex and in the perinuclear region. Various functions have been postulated for the primary 9+0 cilia.
