Popis:	The basement membrane of the proximal tubule of the rat has a smooth outer surface and a series of closely spaced, transversely arranged inner ridges or cristae. By determining the specific plane of section in light and electron micrographs, the basal architecture of the tubule cells and its relationship to cristae can be elucidated. Toward the base of the cell, there are well defined linear cytoplasmic compartments parallel to the basement membrane cristae. From these, emanate terminal cytoplasmic villi which make final contact with the inner surface of the basement membrane. The arrangement appears well suited to the dual functions of adhesion between cell and basement membrane and large volume fluid transport.
