Morphology of the nervous and muscular systems in the heads of pedicellariae from the sea urchin Echinus esculentus L.

abstract：:Only species belonging to the bryozoan subtaxon Phylactolaemata possess an epistome. To test whether there is a specific coelomic cavity inside the epistome, Fredericella sultana, Plumatella emarginata, and Lophopus crystallinus were studied on the ultrastructural level. In F. sultana and P. emarginata, the epistome c...
