Summary

In ependymal cells of the mouse the neck region of all cilia examined by means of transmission electron microscopy exhibited rows of electron-dense spines. These structures correspond to the ciliary necklace reported from freeze-etch studies, a structure presumed to serve as an energy-regulating system in motile cilia.
