From: The subplacenta of the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina L)
Ultrastructure of a placental giant cell in the agouti in midgestation. (A) The nucleus is irregular and the cytoplasm appears vacuolated. There are few mitochondria, some rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer) and many granules (gr) of moderate electron density. Microvilli extend from the cell surface. (B) At higher power vesicles (arrows) can be seen within the extracellular material. They seem to have been extruded from the cell. Scale bars: 4 μm (A); 1 μm (B).
