Collection: Nervous and muscle systems of the polychaete Protodrilus flavocapitatus (Annelida)

Species: Protodrilus flavocapitatus (Uljanin, 1877)    Annelida

Description: Series of images of a body region of the polychete Protodrilus flavocapitatus (Polychaeta, Annelida) showing the muscles of the body wall and setae and the nervous system stained with antibodies to acetylated alpha-tubulin and FMRFamide. The series clearly shows two ventral nerve cords, the trasverse and diagonal commissures interconnecting the cords and the lateral nerves extending from the cords. The images also show cilia in the protonephridial canals.

Comments: none
