Studies of the triad. IV. Structure of the junction in frog slow fibers

C Franzini-Armstrong. J Cell Biol. 1973 Jan.

Abstract

The structure of the triadic junction in frog slow fibers has been studied and compared with that of twitch fibers. The junctional gap is wider (by approximately 13%) in slow fibers. The junctional feet have the same size and disposition as in twitch fibers, although the size and shape of the junctional areas are different. It is concluded that the role of triads in slow fibers is the same as in twitch fibers
