Detailed ultrastructures of the CMC. A. Ultra-photograph of rough endoplasmic reticulum (double arrow) and mitochondria (Mi) of the CMC in the fascia. B. Adherens junctions (black dashed oval) between CMCs in the fascia. Caveolae (short black arrow). C. Well-developed microfilaments (pentagram) within the CMC. Caveolae (short black arrow); mitochondria (Mi). D. Gap junction between CMCs and focal adhesion between the CMC and extracellular matrix. D1 and D2. Large magnifications from photograph D, highlighting the Gap junction (red dashed oval) and focal adhesion (black triangular arrow) respectively. E. Developed focal adhesion (black triangular arrow) between the CMC and extracellular matrix. Scale bars (A, D, E) = 400 nm; Scale bars (B, C, D1, D2) = 200 nm.
