The Mastigont system is a series of structures found in several Protists such as thrichomonads and amoebae. It is formed by the basal bodies and several other structures composed of fibrils. Their function is not fully understood. The system is studied and visualised mainly through techniques such as plasma membrane extraction, high-voltage electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, the cell-sandwich technique, freeze-etching, and immunocytochemistry. ==Composition== The main structures that compose the Mastigont system include:〔McKhann, Heather I., and Lorraine Olendzenski, eds. Illustrated Glossary of Protoctista: Vocabulary of the Algae, Apicomplexa, Ciliates, Foraminifera, Microspora, Water Molds, Slime Molds, and the Other Protoctists.

The pelta is a microtubular structure that holds the flagellar canal. *The ''costa'', a rootlet; it supports flagellar movements and provides an anchoring system for the nucleus and Golgi. *The ''parabasal and sigmoid filaments''; *Other filaments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mastigont system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
