Abstract
A method of fixation has been developed for the cartilage cells of the epiphyseal plate. Improved preservation of the flattened chondrocytes reveals small vesicles that seem to originate in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and are found in large amounts in the Golgi area. Different types of vacuoles can be distinguished in the Golgi complex, e.g. "intermediate vacuoles" and "large vacuoles", the latter usually containing inclusions. It seems likely that the vesicles and vacuoles each play a specific role in the transport and production of sulfated protein polysaccharides.

Investigation of the secretory cycle of the guinea pig pancreas by cell fractionation procedures applied to pancreatic slices incubated in vitro provides direct evidence that secretory proteins are transported from the cisternae of the rough ER to condensing vacuoles via the small vesicles of the Golgi complex.

The results indicate that leucine-H3 can be used as a label for newly synthesizedsecretory proteins and as a tracer for their intracellular movements and suggest the existence of two distinct steps in the transit of secretory proteins through the latter.

The role of the cells in the fabrication of a connective tissue matrix, and the structural modifications which accompany cytodifferentiation have been investigated in developing epiphyseal cartilage of fetal rat by means of electron microscopy.

It is concluded that the vesicular component of the Golgi apparatus is the actual site of sulfation, and intracellular hyaluronidase-sensitive metachromatic granules are found chiefly at the cell periphery or mantle, rarely juxtanuclear in the main Golgi zone.

It is suggested that polysaccharide chain-initiation occurs in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and that chain completion occurs inThe smooth Reticulum, consistent with modern theories of synthesis, transfer, and export of extracellular macromolecules.

The results strongly suggest cell activity from the beginning of enlargement of the cell up to the stage where the lacuna breaks open, and support for the hypothesis that hypertrophic chondrocytes may ultimately become bone cells is provided.

Observations reported here indicate that the synthetic processes leading to the formation of collagen and mucopolysaccharides may be dissociated, and they suggest that there is no essential interrelationship between the two pathways.

Failure to find a significant change in distribution of label over the Golgi vacuoles or the cisternae does not completely exclude the possibility that these two compartments are involved in the extrusion, but the data are consistent with the simpler notion that the completed collagen molecules pass directly from the ground cytoplasm to the extracellular matrix.

Electron microscope autoradiography was used to study cartilage from regenerating limbs of adult newts, Triturus, after intraperitoneal injections of proline‐3H to indicate that a large part of the radioactive secretion probably leaves the cell after having been in only one cellular compartment.

In developing long bone the area of endochondral ossification consists of a variety of tissues in which various developmental processes take place and the adjacent connective tissue and bloodvessels take an active part in the process by penetrating and invading the developing cartilage tissue.
