Fig. 4. Electron micrographs of type A cells from hypothyroid rat Harderian gland
(HG). (A) Autophagic vacuoles (asterisks) can be seen close to smooth
endoplasmic reticulum (arrow). Arrowheads indicate glycogen granules; m,
mitochondria. Scale bar, 1.2 µm. (B) A cytoplasmic vacuole showing the
characteristic lamellar substructures (arrows). (C) A secretory vacuole
showing concentric systems of lamellae. Scale bars, 1 µm.
