Dynamics and density of mitochondria-rich cells in toad skin epithelium.

abstract：:Ciliary receptor cells, typified by cilia or modified cilia, are very common in the animal kingdom. In addition to the cytoskeleton of their ciliary processes these receptors possess other specific prominent cytoskeletal elements. Two representative systems are presented: i) scolopidia, mechanosensitive sensilla of va...
