An electron microscopic study of the circulatory system in Nereis japonica.

Abstract:

:Blood vessels in Nereis japonica were studied by electron microscopy. It was found that blood vessels regardless of location were similar in the basic organization of the basal lamina and the usual presence of collagen fibrils on the vessel wall. Differences arise, depending on whether the outside of the basal lamina is covered by peritoneal cells, by gut epithelium, or by epidermis. These relate to the location of the vessels in mesenteries, gut or epidermis, but do not reflect basic structural differences in the vessels themselves. Furthermore, it was concluded that true endothelial cells do not exist in the circulatory system of Nereis japonica and that, in this respect, the system is essentially different from that of vertebrates, in which endothelial cells line the vessels of a closed circulatory system. These considerations lead to the further conclusion that the vascular lumen in Nereis is essentially interstitial space and that the system, which has been known as a typical "closed" circulatory system in annelids, is actually an open circulatory system. Peritoneal cells covering the walls of internal vessels show various degrees of muscular differentiation and those possessing myofilaments may be called "myomesothelial cells."
