The tissues of the body cavity stain deeply with haematoxylin or carmine, giving the impression of a thick mucus in which deeply staining granules are embedded. The epithelium is very thick. The basement membrane is a little thicker than the circular muscle layer. It is homogeneous in appearance and stains with eosin. The longitudinal muscle layer is somewhat thicker than the epithelium and the fibres are packed in conspicuous bundles. The ganglia are enveloped in a coat of longitudinal fibres. In the body behind the brain this muscle layer splits into bundles which pass gradually outwards and rejoin the longitudinal layer of the body. The eyes are just inside the muscles, embedded in the connective Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
