Abstract: | Some type III cells in taste buds of rabbit foliate papillae have greatly increased numbers of dense-cored vesicles. Such cells also contain unusual lamellar bodies that resemble those in alveolar type II cells; they consist of alternating dense and light layers with a periodicity of about 4.4 nm. The precise relationship between the vesicles and the lamellar bodies is unknown. |
