We studied the body-wall musculature, its ECM (extracellular matrix), and the junctional complexes between muscle cells and between muscle cells and ECM in Macrostomum hystricinum marinum Rieger, 1977, using Nomarski-contrast and electron microscopy. Differentiation of these body-wall components was followed by monitoring embryonic stages at 52%, 64%, and 82% of the time between egg-laying and hatching and with study of the hatchling and adult stages. For comparison, the body-wall musculature of other macrostomidans has been examined in conventional light-histological sections. |
