Fine structural distribution of the surface-connected canalicular system in frog thrombocytes.

???displayArticle.abstract???
The existence of the surface-connected canalicular system (SCCS) has been demonstrated in semithick sections of the frog thrombocytes by the use of a high voltage electron microscope. The SCCS of the thrombocytes in Rana catesbeiana and Rana nigromaculata consists of numerous canaliculi and vesicles with a diameter of 250 nm, which join with one another to make a complex network throughout the cytoplasm. Although the SCCS of Xenopus laevis fits well into the pattern described in Rana catebeiana, the diameter of the canaliculi of the SCCS is about 500 nm. The results of this study suggest that the SCCS is a specific organelle of the thrombocyte system common to submammals and mammals.
