Abstract
Electron-microscope study of chick tendon fibroblast revealed a constant ultra-structural finding of a microtubular-microfibrillar system and an intimate relationship which existed between the microtubular-microfibrillar system and secretory vacuoles. Additionally, the data from this study suggest a mechanism by which newly synthesized collagen molecules are transported and secreted into the extracellular space to be organized into mature collagen.
