Positional Relationship Between the Basal Body and the Basal Foot. The images in (a), (b), (e) and (f) are for the inversion group at 2 months, the images in (c) and (g) are for the inversion group at 4 months, and the images in (d) and (h) are for the inversion group at 6 months, and they are orientated so that the upward direction is to the pharynx and the downward direction is to the lung. a In the normal segment, the basal foot (arrowhead) of each cilium was on the pharyngeal side of the basal body (arrow). b-d In the inverted segment, the basal foot (arrowhead) of each cilium was on the lung side of the basal body (arrow). Scale bar = 50 nm. e-h The distribution graphs of the orientations of the basal feet
