Figure 1From: Common cellular events occur during wound healing and organ regeneration in the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrimaBodywall tissue organization. Longitudinal sections of H. glaberrima bodywall depicting its major components, (A) stained with Toluidine blue and (B) double labeled with rhodamine-labeled phalloidin (red) and monoclonal antibody against holothurian collagen (HgCol, green). The main muscle systems and their relationship to the dense and loose connective tissue of the bodywall can be seen. BL-basal lamina of the coelomic epithelia, CB-collagen band, CE-coelomic epithelia, CM-circular muscle, D-dermis, including the loose (lCT) and dense (dCT) connective tissue, LM-longitudinal muscle, M-morulas. Arrowheads identify the ampulla within the bodywall. Bar = 300 μm.Back to article page
