Extract

The internal organisation of the Ceatoda is described as follows by Sedgwick (1898, p. 246):

“Beneath the cuticle-like outer membrane is a layer of spindle-shaped cells lying at right angles to the surface; their external ends abut upon the cuticle, and their inner ends are prolonged as fibres into the parenchyma. Beneath this layer there is a delicate superficial layer of longitudinal muscular fibres, and next a parenchyma of connective tissue in which strongly-developed bundles of longitudinal muscular fibres, as well as an inner layer of circular muscles, are embedded; both these muscular layers are traversed, principally at the sides of the body, by groups of dorso-ventral muscular fibres.”
