Fig. 5From: Ultrastructure of cerebral eyes in Oweniidae and Chaetopteridae (Annelida) – implications for the evolution of eyes in AnnelidaGalathowenia oculata. Cerebral eye, PRCs. TEM. a) Eye with ciliated PRCs (prc, boxed) between PSCs (psc). Somata of PRCs below cell bodies of PSCs; b) enlargement of left boxed area from a, two sensory dendrites with cilia (sc) emerging from apical depression of receptor cells, apical regions of PSCs are pigment-free, arrows point to junctional complexes; c) Somata of adjacent PRCs (prc) with numerous endo-membranes and mitochondria (m); d), Apex of PRC (prc), dendritic process with cilium and microvillus, note electron-lucent vesicles (v); e) Sensory cilium with the basal body (bb), accessory centriole (ce) and small rootlet (cr); f), Periphery of PRC process with numerous electron vesicles (v) and agranular ER, inset: enlargement of the boxed area with septate junction. Abbreviations: bb basal body, ce accessory centriole, cr ciliary rootlet, cu cuticle, if intermediate filaments, m mitochondrion, mv microvillus, np nucleus of PSC, nr nucleus of PRC, pg pigment granule, prc PRC psc PSC, sc sensory cilium, smv sensory microvilli, v vesicle, za zonula adherensBack to article page
