two cells

Descrição:

Foaina (foe-een-a) is one of the trichomonad flagellates - mostly endobiotic with four flagella arising from a point near the front of the cell. Three flagella project to the side or forwards - sometimes sticking together, and one is directed to the rear. Usually with several cytoskeletal structures, an axial axostyle made of microtubules which encloses the nucleus anteriorly, as well as a costa which often lies under one of the flagella. The axostyle projects from the posterior end of the cell and is adapted to form a holdfast which attaches the cell to a piece of debris. From the termite Cryptotermes. Phase contrast.
