Description
Abstract
A variety of adhering junction is found in the
ependyma of the domestic cat with a coupling of
mitochondria. These are symmetrically situated (in
mirror form) at both sides of the intercellular cleft, which
always maintain the same separating distance, thereby
leaving a limiting cellular space of a constant amplitude.
The hypothesis is put forward that the energy (ATP),
provided by the mitochondria over adhering junctional
complexes, would produce separate fields of force which
would position in a lengthwise direction the molecules
which give rise to the anchoring filaments. The
mitochondrial energy provided and the electrostatic
forces generated would produce an adhering,
intercellular junction which is functionally very strong
and which could be called: high-energy adhering
junctional complexes or with mitochondrial coupling.
