From: A transmission electron microscopy investigation suggests that telocytes, skeletal muscles, myoblasts, and stem cells in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) respond to salinity challenges

Fig. 7

An illustration shows the relations of telocytes with skeletal muscles, myoblasts, and stem cells and the effect of salinity on telocytes and skeletal muscles. Telocytes have telopodes which consisted of podoms and podomeres. Note multivesicular body (MV), the secretory vesicles (V) were phagocytosed in intracellular compartments (c). Telocytes formed multiple-point contact with skeletal muscle, planer contact was formed between telocytes and stem cells. Note interdigitated cytoplasmic projections or cytonemes of telocytes projected to stem cells. In high salinity levels, telocytes increased the secretory activities, telopodes acquired a corrugated appearance and skeletal muscles undergo hypertrophy
