Intercellular attachments of cockroach nymph epidermal cells

摘要: Junctional complexes on the surfaces of cockroach nymph epidermal cells are described in detail. Although there slight modifications, most specialized junctions reported vertebrate and invertebrate epithelial present. In this particular group cells, close or gap (20–30 A between unit membranes) for first time invertebrates. An unusual finding is presence collagen intercellular space myoepidermal junction. This study suggests morphologically that these securely anchored to both muscle cuticle and, furthermore, they may have lateral communications through septate junctions.
