Gap junctions from a granulosa cell of a rat ovarian follicle. Variability in size of the gap junctions is likely an artifact of the freeze fracture preparation. Figure 99 from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
