Phalloidin‐stained whole mounts of acoel turbellarians show brightly fluorescing club‐shaped structures distributed over the epidermis and concentrated especially at the anterior and posterior tips of the body. By correlating electron micrographic images and fluorescence images of Convoluta pulchra, these structures can be seen to be sensory receptors with a central cilium surrounded by a collar of microvilli. The other candidate for showing fluorescence in the epidermis, namely gland necks, can be ruled out since their distribution is too dense to resemble the distribution of the fluorescent structures seen here. The collared sensory receptors were inserted between epidermal cells, and each bore a central cilium surrounded by a collar of 6–18 microvilli and an additional centrally positioned 2–7 microvilli of which 2 or 3 were associated with a modified rootlet called the swallow’s nest. Confocal scanning laser microscopy resolved the core of actin filaments within the microvilli of the collar and their rootlet‐like connections to the base of the sensory cell. Such receptors could also be identified by fluorescence microscopy in several other species of acoel turbellarians.  相似文献

Summary The ultrastructure of a uniciliate and a quadruciliate receptor in the anterior end of the larva of Austramphilina elongata is described on the basis of serial sections. The uniciliate receptor has numerous branched and interconnected microvilli at its surface, several rings forming the electron dense collar, and cross-striated rootlets diverging from the basal body of the cilium. The quadruciliate receptor has four short club-shaped sensory cilia and a single electron-dense collar.Abbreviations used in figures ec electron-dense collar - ep epidermis - m microvilli - nt neurotubules - pe process of electron-dense collar - r rootlet of cilium - sc sensory cilium - sd septate desmosome  相似文献

The ultramorphology of the antennae and mouthparts of the adult Loxocephala perpunctata Jacobi was studied through a scanning electron microscope. Seven types of sensilla were found on antennomeres, including a Böhm bristle on the scape, sensillum trichoideum and plaque organ on the pedicel, two subtypes of sensilla chaetica and two subtypes of sensilla campaniformia on these two antennomeres; and Bourgoin's organ with sensory pegs and sensilla basiconicum on the basal bulb of the flagellum. The mouthparts of L. perpunctata are of the typical piercing-sucking type, similar to mouthparts found in other hemipteran insects. In general, six types of sensilla (i.e., four subtypes of sensilla chaetica, sensillum basiconicum, subapical labial sensillum, uniporous peg-like sensillum, multiporous peg-like sensillum and two subtypes of bristle-like sensilla) were detected on different locations of the labium, with the last three, and numerous cuticular processes, present on the labial tip. The potential functions of these sensilla are discussed.  相似文献

The ultrastructure of the central nervous system of four species of the Geocentrophoragroup (Prorhynchida, Lecithoepitheliata) has been studied with Geocentrophora waginias a model organism. This is the first ultrastructural study of the nervous system in flatworms of the endemic Geocentrophoragroup from Lake Baikal. The neurons are characterized by invaginations of the plasma membrane with extracellular material (ECM) extending deep into the neuronal cytoplasm. Two types of neuron are distinguished on the basis of the character of the cytoplasm and the content of neuronal vesicles. Several more vesicle types are observed in the nerve processes in the neuropile. The following kinds of neuronal release sites are distinguished: single synapses, shared synapses, nonsynaptic release sites characterized by omega profiles and neuromuscular contacts. Special features of the synapses in the species of Geocentrophoraare pronounced local thickenings of the presynaptic membrane connected to paramembraneous densities. The ECM-filled invaginations and the local presynaptic thickenings are features that distinguish the neurons of Geocentrophoraspp. from previously described turbellarian neurons.  相似文献

The antennae of Lepidoptera Neopseustidae were examined with the scanning electron microscope. The studied species, Nematocentropus cfr. omeiensis, Neopseustis meyricki, Synempora andesae, Apoplania valdiviana and Apoplania penai possess nine types of antennal flagellum sensilla: multiporous large sensilla basiconica, multiporous thin sensilla basiconica, multiporous small sensilla basiconica, multiporous sensilla trichodea, multiporous sensilla coeloconica; uniporous sensilla chaetica; aporous sensilla chaetica, aporous stylus-shaped sensilla chaetica, aporous sensilla styloconica.The multiporous sensillum type here termed “multiporous large sensillum basiconicum” is unknown from other Lepidoptera and probably constitutes an autapomorphy of the family Neopseustidae. This sensillum type is remarkable by having a single base in female Apoplania and Synempora while in male Apoplania it has a bifid or trifid base, and in male Synempora it is composed of two or three incompletely separated hairs. This may be the first recorded example of a sexually dimorphic lepidopteran sensillum type. The stylus-shaped sensillum chaeticum is a primitive type which occurs only in some lower Lepidoptera.  相似文献

Summary The ultrastructure of the apical plate of the free-swimming pilidium larva of Lineus bilineatus (Renier 1804) is described with particular reference to the multiciliated collar cells. In the multiciliary collar cells there are several, up to 12, cilia surrounded by a collar of about 20 microvilli extending from the cells' apical surface. The cilia have the typical 9+2 axoneme arrangement and are equipped with striated caudal rootlets extending from the basal bodies. No accessary centriole or rostral rootlet were observed. Microvilli surrounding the cilia are joined in a cylindrical manner by a mucus-like substance to form a collar. In comparison with many sensory receptor cells built on a collar cell plan the multiciliary collar cells of the pilidium larva apical plate are rather simple and unspecialized. In other pilidium larvae monociliated collar cells are found in the apical plate. The possible function and phylogenetic implications of multiciliated collar cells in Nemertini are briefly discussed.List of Abbreviations a axoneme - b basal body - c cilia or flagella - d desmosome - G Golgi apparatus - m mitochondria - mf microfilaments - mu mucus - mv microvilli - n nucleus - nt neurotubules - pm plasma membrane - r rootlet - ri ribosomes - v secretory vesicles  相似文献

The ultrastructure and distribution of receptor cells near the mouth and (where present) the pharynx of Hofstenia miamia, Proporus bermudensis, Conaperta thela, and Convoluta convoluta (Acoela) were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy of specimens stained with a fluorescence marker for actin. Five types of monociliary receptors were identified: (1) non‐collared receptors with a single long and narrow ciliary rootlet; (2) non‐collared receptors with a wide main ciliary rootlet and a smaller posterior rootlet; (3) non‐collared receptors with a single wide and hollow ciliary rootlet with a granulated core; (4) Collar (?) receptors with obliquely radial filament bundles in the cell apex and with a single hollow ciliary rootlet composed of numerous strand‐like elements; and (5) Collar receptors lacking a striated rootlet but with a granular body (swallow's nest rootlet). While H. miamia bears the first two receptor types, P. bermudensis has receptors of type 1, 3 and 5, and Cona. thela and Conv. convoluta have receptors of type 3, 4 and 5. The density of receptors is generally highest at the anterior body tip, regardless of where the mouth is located. Most receptor types occur scattered over the whole body but type 2 receptors of H. miamia are restricted to the pharynx and mouth region. The lack of a common receptor type specific for the mouth and pharynx of the investigated species points to an independent origin of the pharynges in Hofsteniidae and in Proporidae and of the mouth tube in Convolutidae. Moreover, the homology of the so‐called collar receptors in Acoela with typical collar receptors in other invertebrates is questioned.  相似文献

Only one sensory cell type has been observed within the glandular epithelium of the proboscis in the heteronemertine Riseriellus occultus. These bipolar cells are abundant and scattered singly throughout the proboscis length. The apical surface of each dendrite bears a single cilium enclosed by a ring of six to eight prominent microvilli. The cilium has the typical 9×2 + 2 axoneme arrangement and is equipped with a cross-striated vertical rootlet extending from the basal body. No accessory centriole or horizontal rootlet was observed. Large, modified microvilli (stereovilli) surrounding the cilium are joined together by a system of fine filaments derived from the glycocalyx. Each microvillus contains a bundle of actin-like filaments which anchor on the indented inner surface of a dense, apical ring situated beneath the level of the ciliary basal body. The tip of the cilium is expanded and modified to form a bulb-like structure which lies above the level where the surrounding microvilli terminate. In the region where the cilium emerges from the microvillar cone, the membrane of the microvillar apices makes contact with a corresponding portion of the ciliary membrane. At this level microvilli and cilium are apparently firmly linked by junctional systems resembling adherens junctions. The results suggest that these sensory cells may be mechanoreceptors. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The fine structure of the ciliated sensory endings of the unactivated metacestode of Hymenolepis microstoma is described. The type I sensilla, localized in areas of the scolex and sucker tegument, are characterized by a long cilium (1.20 × 0.20 μ) embedded in a bulb containing two electron-dense collars and three to five mitochondria. The type II sensilla, located in tegumentary pits of the rostellum, are characterized by a short cilium (0.62 × 0.28 μ) possessing ciliary rootlets, embedded in a bulb containing a single electron-dense collar and one to three mitochondria. Both sensory cilia are characterized by a 9 + 6 + 1 microtubular substructure. The sensory bulbs contain large numbers of membrane bound electron-lucent vesicles; neurotubules are absent at this stage of development.  相似文献

The existence of collar cells lining the stomach gastrodermis in free-living Polypodium hydriforme and their ultrastructure are described. The collar cells are provided with a collar consisting of 9–10 microvilli which encircles a central flagellum and forms a flagellar pit. At the bottom of the pit around the basal part of the flagellum there is fine crystalline material which extends also in the spaces between the microvilli and keeps them straight. The flagellum has a typical axoneme (9+2), its basal body is located below the apical surface of the collar cell and continues into a striated rootlet. An accessory centriole is situated close to the upper part of the rootlet. The cell nucleus is located in the basal part of the cell. Prominent mitochondria with tubular cristae, Golgi cisternae and fragments of rough endoplasmic reticulum are situated mostly in the basal part of the cytoplasm. Discoidal vesicles are abundant in the apical cytoplasm. The collar cells are connected to each other by septate junctions and interdigitations. The ultrastructure of collar cells described here is discussed in comparison to that of other Cnidarians and in connection with the problem of Polypodium's systematic position.  相似文献

The antennal sensilla of alate Myzus persicae were mapped using transmission electron microscopy and the ultrastructure of sensilla trichoidea, coeloconica, and placoidea are described. Trichoid sensilla, located on the tip of the antennae, are innervated by 2–4 neurons, with some outer dendrites reaching the distal end of the hair. Coeloconic sensilla in primary rhinaria are of two morphological types, both equipped with two dendrites. Dendrites of Type II coeloconic sensilla are enveloped in the dendrite sheath, containing the sensillum lymph. In sensilla coeloconica of Type I, instead, dendrites are enclosed by an electron opaque solid cuticle, with no space left for the sensillum lymph. The ultrastructure of big placoid sensillum reveals the presence of three groups of neurons, with 2–3 dendrites in each neuron group, while both small placoid sensilla are equipped with a single group of neurons, consisting of three dendrites. Both large and small placoid sensilla bear multiple pores on the outer cuticle. The function of these sensilla is also discussed. J.

The antennae are a critically important component of the ant’s highly elaborated chemical communication systems. However, our understanding of the organization of the sensory systems on the antennae of ants, from peripheral receptors to central and output systems, is poorly understood. Consequently, we have used scanning electron and confocal laser microscopy to create virtually complete maps of the structure, numbers of sensory neurons, and distribution patterns of all types of external sensilla on the antennal flagellum of all types of colony members of the carpenter ant Camponotus japonicus. Based on the outer cuticular structures, the sensilla have been classified into seven types: coelocapitular, coeloconic, ampullaceal, basiconic, trichoid-I, trichoid-II, and chaetic sensilla. Retrograde staining of antennal nerves has enabled us to count the number of sensory neurons housed in the different types of sensilla: three in a coelocapitular sensillum, three in a coeloconic sensillum, one in an ampullaceal sensillum, over 130 in a basiconic sensillum, 50–60 in a trichoid-I sensillum, and 8–9 in a trichoid-II sensillum. The basiconic sensilla, which are cuticular hydrocarbon-receptive in the ant, are present in workers and unmated queens but absent in males. Coelocapitular sensilla (putatively hygro- and thermoreceptive) have been newly identified in this study. Coelocapitular, coeloconic, and ampullaceal sensilla form clusters and show biased distributions on flagellar segments of antennae in all colony members. The total numbers of sensilla per flagellum are about 9000 in unmated queens, 7500 in workers, and 6000 in males. This is the first report presenting comprehensive sensillar maps of antennae in ants.  相似文献

In the species‐specific and obligate mutualism between the fig (Moraceae: Ficus spp.) and its pollinator (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), the continuity of lifecycle of both partners completely depends on the female pollinator's ability to detect receptive figs. To better understand the chemical location mechanism, we examined the antennae and their sensilla of the female fig pollinator Eupristina sp. using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The antennae of female Eupristina sp. are geniculated, and in total, there were seven types of sensilla found on the antennae: two types of multiporous placoid sensilla (type 1 is sausage‐like and type 2 is rounded), sensilla trichodea (ST), basiconic sensilla (BS), chaetica sensilla (ChS), coeloconic sensilla (CoS), and one specialized sensillum classified as sensillum obscurum (SO). We described external morphology, abundance, distribution, ultrastructure and discussed putative functions. We inferred from their ultrastructures as chemoreceptors that two types of multiporous placoid sensilla, BS and CoS, were innervated by sensory neurons. The aporous type ST, ChS, and SO were not innervated by dendrites which may function as mechanoreceptor/proprioceptor. These results were also discussed in relation to the interaction between Eupristina sp. and its host fig.  相似文献

Summary The ultrastructure of monociliary receptors in 10 species of the Proseriata and Neorhabdocoela is described, with particular reference to the epidermal dendritic part.Sensory cells with a single kinocilium situated at the level of the distal epidermis membrane are considered as mechano- or chemoreceptors.There exist sensory cells with a dendrite penetrating one epidermis cell and bearing an embedded kinocilium and a collar of 8 stereocilia or ridges with a fribrillose substructure. These collared receptors probably function as mechanoreceptors.In comparison with collared sensory cells in species of other turbellarian orders, the embedded receptors in the Proseriata and Neorhabdocoela are more advanced and possess synapomorphous characteristics. With the embedded receptors a new evidence is given for the close phylogenetic relationship between the Proseriata and Neorhabdocoela.The distribution of collared cells in the animal system and their phylogenetic implication for a choanoflagellate origin of the Metazoa are briefly discussed.List of abbreviations ar annular rootlet - bm basement membrane - cb crystalline body - cc collar cell - cw cell web - cwt cell web-thickening - d dendrite - kc kinocilium - lm longitudinal musculature - mv microvilli - n nerve - nt neurotubuli - pb parenchymal branches - r rootlet - rd ridges - rh rhabdite - rm ring musculature - sc stereocilia - sd septate desmosomes - tm transversal musculature - u ultrarhabdites - za zonula adhaerens  相似文献

The cuticular sensory receptors that are found on the apex of the labium of hemipterans play an important role in their feeding behavior. In this study we describe the ultrastructure, number, and distribution of sensilla on the labium apex of the chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus leucopterus. Each apical field of sensilla on the labium contains 11 uniporous peg sensilla and one sensillum chaeticum. The uniporous peg sensilla are innervated by 4–5 bipolar neurons that send dendrites in the lumen of each peg. Three neurons are associated with each sensillum chaeticum, two neurons have dendrites in the lumen of the sensillum, and the third dendrite ends in a tubular body at the base of the sensillum. Behavioral tests that involve chemical blockage of the sensory receptors show the importance of the labial sensilla in feeding behavior. Both morphological and behavioral evidence indicate that the labial sensilla have a chemosensitive function.  相似文献
