Description

Figure 357 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Intestinal epithelium of rat in an advanced stage of fat absorption. In contrast to most cells, lipid droplets in intestinal epithelial cells are bound by membrane. Image from S. Palay and J.P. Revel in Lipid Transport [H.C. Meng, ed.] Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, IL, 1964. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
