Description

Glial cells in the nerve cord of the annelid worm, Aphrodita aculeata are rich in 10 nm filaments, and desmosomes are abundant. Figure 89 from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
