Gap junctions are present in the meshes formed by these junctional strands. The body of a human comprises trillions of cells. Replicas reveal that, below the belt-like apical zonula occludens, the basolateral plasma membranes of the spindle-shaped cells adjacent to each other and to the basal cells are joined over their entire extension by a large number of junctional strands intermingled with numerous filipin-cholesterol-complexes. The fundamental blocks of all the living things are the cells.

In the present study freeze-fracture replicas of guinea pig specimens fixed in the presence of filipin were used in order to investigate the junctions of the spindle-shaped cells and to localize the cholesterol in their plasma membrane. Kaposi's sarcoma is a neoplasm that develops as multifocal lesions, often involving the skin, characterized by a complex histologic picture including numerous vascular spaces, perivascular and interstitial spindle-shaped cells, and extravasated erythrocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Possible candidates for this sealing could be junctions between the spindle-shaped cells. Their discovery in whales will stimulate debate both on the level of whale intelligence and on the ethics of hunting them. However, it has not yet been investigated whether these two barriers meet at the stria margins toward Reissner's membrane and the spiral prominence. What are spindle cells and their function Spindle cells, named after their long, spindle-shaped bodies, are the cells that are credited with allowing us to feel love and to suffer emotionally. It is current opinion that the intercellular spaces of the stria vascularis represent a closed compartment isolated from the endolymph by the tight junctions of the marginal cells and from the perilymph by the junctional complexes of the basel cells.
