Basal body formation occurs most prominently in the equatorial region of the predivision cell. A new basal body begins to develop perpendicular to the mature basal body at its proximal anterior surfac...

During division new basal bodies develop accessory fibers and begin to move apart to take up a position equidistant between the older complexes. The new kinetodesmal fiber seems to be associated with ...

Vorticella convallaria has a contractile stalk that arises from the aboral pole of the cell. The myonemes from the body converge at this pole and pass into the stalk to form a large contractile bundle...
