Figure 5

TEM sections of Limnognathia maerski . Muscles highlighted in green. A, transversal section of the trunk. Dorsal side on top. B, close up of figure A., showing the ventral musculature. C, D, coronal section the jaws. The red line shows the symmetry axis of the jaws. The front is on the left. The section in C is more ventral than the section in D. as, accessory sclerite; dm, dorsal muscle; ca, cauda; cm, cauda muscle; fib, fibularium; lfm, lateral fibularium main jaw muscle; lm, pharyngeal lamella muscle; lvm, lateral ventral muscle; mfm, median fibularium main jaw muscle; mj, main jaws; mvm, medio-ventral muscle; pvm, paramedian ventral muscle; tdvm, trunk dorso-ventral muscle; vjm, ventral jaw muscle; vlm, ventral lateral muscle; vpm, ventral pharyngeal muscle.
