Ultrastructure of the inverted yolk sac placenta of the paca. (A) The apical surface of the endodermal cells bears numerous microvilli. The supranuclear cytoplasm contains many larger vesicles or vacuoles with a small amount of electron dense content. (B) Invaginations (arrowheads), small coated vesicles (cv) and tubules are present in the most apical regions of the cytoplasm. Scale bars: 4 μm (A); 1 μm (B).
