Innervation of introvert and lophophore in Fredericella sultana and introvert wall in Plumatella repens. a, Nervous network of introvert wall in F. sultana (lateral view) (staining with antibodies against acetylated tubulin); b, cerebral ganglion and nervous network of introvert wall in F. sultana (abfrontal view) (staining with antibodies against FMRFamide); c, innervation of introvert wall in P. repens (staining with antibodies against FMRFamide) (ring muscle layer of the body wall stained by phalloidin is seen); d, cerebral ganglion and innervation of introvert wall and lophophore in F. sultana (lateral view) (staining with antibodies against FMRFamide). Abbreviations: ag, accumulations of FMRFamide-like immunoreactive neurons in cerebral ganglion near bases of lophophore horns; an, accumulations of neurons at tentacle bases; g, cerebral ganglion; inp, nerve plexus of introvert; lm, longitudinal musculature of introvert wall; mrn, main radial nerve; rm, ring musculature of introvert wall; tn, tentacle nerve. Scale bars: 100 μm
