Figs 7–13 in The maxillary organ gland: Description of a new head gland in Scutigera coleoptrata (Chilopoda, Notostigmophora)

Figs 7–13. Maxillary organ gland of Scutigera coleoptrata. 7. Transition between secretory cell (sc) and intermediary cell (ic). 8. General view of intermediary cells (ic) and connecting proximal (pc) and distal canal cells (dc). 9. Transition between intermediary cell (ic) and proximal canal cell (pc) with its apical infoldings. Note the cuticular lining (cu) of the conduction canal in the most distal part of the intermediary cell. 10. Distal part of maxillary organ gland with several cross sections of the proximal (pc) and distal (dc) canal cells and their cuticular ducts (*). 11. Cross sectioned proximal canal cell with apical infoldings and cuticular duct. The asterisk points. 12. Cross section of the distal canal cell (dc) with its cuticular duct (*). (pc) proximal canal cell. 13. Part of distal canal cell with its conducting canal (*) passing through the cuticle (cu) of the
