Fine structure of the retrocerebral organ in the rotifer Trichocerca similis (Monogononta)

Abstract: The retrocerebral organ (RCO) is a complex glandular system that is widely distributed across species of phylum Rotifera (sensu stricto). This system is hypothesized to secrete mucus that aids in benthic locomotion, adhesion, and/or reproduction. Unfortunately, the ultrastructure of the RCO is mostly unknown, having only been partially examined in one species. We used transmission electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy to describe the RCO in the planktonic freshwater rotifer Trichocerca sim… Show more
