Figure 10 Organization of podocephalic glands in unfed larvaeL. maculata.TEM. a – Transformation of the end-piece of coxal gland into the bladder in longitudinal section and formation of a cuticle of the bladder arrows(). Scale bar – 2 μm; b – Formation of the cuticle of the bladder above short microvilli of the duct-forming cells (arrow). Scale bar – 1 μm; c – Concentration and joining of glands' ducts at the caudal end of the epistomal apodeme. Scale bar – 5 μm; d – The gnathosomal base in transverse section showing posterior portions of the subcheliceral cavity (arrows). Scale bar – 10 μm. amg – anterior medial gland; bl – bladder; cha – cheliceral apodeme; d – duct; dfc – duct-forming cell; epa – epistomal apodeme; glc – gland cell; gll – gland lumen; m – mitochondria; ms – muscles; n – nucleus; ph – pharynx; pmg – posterior medial gland.
