Vestibular kinities and the cortical architecture adjacent to the oral apparatus of Conchophthirus curtus. The negative magnification is 15,500X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750...

The bottom of the buccal cavity is surrounded by specialized cytoplasm and contains a lip that constricts the opening leading through the cytostome into the receiving vacuole or nascent vacuole. The ...

The nascent digestive vacuole forms as the membrane of flattened vesicles fuse with the single membrane of the cytopharynx between the lamellae (2 microtubules forming a lamella) that are connected al...
