Distribution and structure of sub-cuticular glands in the copepod Temora longicornis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
The calanoid copepod Temora longiornis (Müller) has sub-cuticular secretory glands located on both the body and swimming legs. The glands are tri-cellular, consisting of a secretory cell (producing a proteinaceous secretion) opening through a cuticular pore, a collar cell surrounding the neck of the secretory cell, and a duct cell which lines the pore opening. The possible function of the secretion is discussed.
