Figure 9

Comparative morphology of the echinoid axial complex at the level of axial organ and axial coelom. Schematic representation of the axial complex at the level of axial organ and axial coelom based on light-microscopic sections. Note that although changes in shape do occur, the internal composition remains largely the same. For better comparison, the stone canal is depicted towards the top of each image. The legend indicates every structure shown.
