Intercellular junctions in the vascular stria and spiral ligament
E Reale, L Luciano, K Franke, E Pannese… - Journal of Ultrastructure …, 1975 - Elsevier
The junctional complexes in the vascular stria and spiral ligament of the chinchilla inner ear
have been studied using the electron microscope with freeze-fracture technique. The
intercellular spaces of the vascular stria are sealed towards the endolymph by the zonulae
occludentes “intermediate to tight” of the marginal cells and towards the perilymph by the
zonulae occludentes “very tight” of the basal cells. All the cells of the vascular stria and spiral
ligament have their cytoplasms in direct communication, which is mediated by numerous …
