Abstract
Abstract
Background
The nervous system of siboglinids has been studied mainly in Osedax and some Vestimentifera, while data in Frenulata – one of the four pogonophoran main branches – is still fragmentary. In most of the studies, the focus is almost always on the central nervous system, while the peripheral nervous system has traditionally received little attention. In contrast to other annelids, the structure and diversity of sensory structures in siboglinids are still quite undescribed. Meanwhile, the peripheral nervous system, as well as sensory elements, are extremely evolutionarily labile, and information about their organization is of high importance to understand lifestyles and behavior as well as main trends that lead siboglinids to their peculiar organization.
Results
The structure of the peripheric nervous system, sensory elements, and neuromuscular relationships of Oligobrachia haakonmosbiensis were studied using both scanning electron and confocal laser microscopy. A significant number of monociliary sensory cells, as well as sensory complexes located diffusely in the epithelium of the whole body were revealed. The latter include the cephalic tentacles, sensory cells accumulations along the dorsal furrow and ciliary band, areas of the openings of the tubiparous glands, and papillae. The oval ciliary spot located on the cephalic lobe at the base of the tentacles can also be regarded as a sensory organ. Most of the detected sensory cells show immunoreactivity to substance P and/or acetylated α-tubulin. FMRFamide- and serotonin-like immunoreactivity are manifested by neurons that mainly innervate tentacles, muscles, body wall epithelium, skin glands, tubiparous glands, and papillae. In the larva of O. haakonmosbiensis, monociliary sensory elements were revealed in the region of the apical organ, along the body, and on the pygidium.
Conclusions
The diversity of sensory structures in O. haakonmosbiensis comprises epidermal solitary sensory cells, sensory spots around tubiparous glands openings, and putative sensory organs such as cephalic tentacles, an oval ciliary spot on the cephalic lobe, the dorsal furrow, and papillae. Sensory structures associated with papillae and tubiparous glands play presumable mechanosensory functions and are associated with regulation of tube building as well as anchorage of the worm inside the tube. Sensory structures of the dorsal furrow are presumably engaged in the regulation of reproductive behavior. An overall low level of morphological differentiation of O. haakonmosbiensis peripheral nervous system is not typical even for annelids with the intraepithelial nervous system. This can be considered as a plesiomorphic feature of its peripheral plexus’s organization, or as evidence for the neotenic origin of Siboglinidae.

Abstract
Tracing the evolution of the siboglinid group, peculiar group of marine gutless annelids, requires the detailed study of the fragmentarily explored central nervous system of vestimentiferans and other siboglinids. 3D reconstructions of the neuroanatomy of Riftia revealed that the "brain" of adult vestimentiferans is a fusion product of the supraesophageal and subesophageal ganglia. The supraesophageal ganglion-like area contains the following neural structures that are homologous to the annelid elements: the peripheral perikarya of the brain lobes, two main transverse commissures, mushroom-like structures, commissural cell cluster, and the circumesophageal connectives with two roots which give rise to the palp neurites. Three pairs of giant perikarya are located in the supraesophageal ganglion, giving rise to the paired giant axons. The circumesophageal connectives run to the VNC. The subesophageal ganglion-like area contains a tripartite ventral aggregation of perikarya (= the postoral ganglion of the VNC) interconnected by the subenteral commissure. The paired VNC is intraepidermal, not ganglionated over most of its length, associated with the ciliary field, and comprises the giant axons. The pairs of VNC and the giant axons fuse posteriorly. Within siboglinids, the vestimentiferans are distinguished by a large and considerably differentiated brain. This reflects the derived development of the tentacle crown. The tentacles of vestimentiferans are homologous to the annelid palps based on their innervation from the dorsal and ventral roots of the circumesophageal connectives. Neuroanatomy of the vestimentiferan brains is close to the brains of Cirratuliiformia and Spionida/Sabellida, which have several transverse commissures, specific position of the giant somata (if any), and palp nerve roots (if any). The palps and palp neurite roots originally developed in all main annelid clades (basally branching, errantian and sedentarian annelids), show the greatest diversity in their number in sedentarian species. Over the course of evolution of Sedentaria, the number of palps and their nerve roots either dramatically increased (as in vestimentiferan siboglinids) or were lost.

Abstract
Vestimentiferans (Siboglinidae, Polychaeta) live as juveniles and adults in an obligate mutualistic association with thiotrophic bacteria. Since their development is aposymbiotic, metatrochophores of vestimentiferans from the East Pacific Rise colonizing deep-sea hydrothermal vents are infected with the specific symbiont, develop the trophosome, and reduce their digestive system. To gain insight into the anatomy and ultrastructure and to compare this stage with metatrochophores from other siboglinids, we serial sectioned and reconstructed three specimens using light and transmission electron microscopy. The metatrochophore was composed of a prostomium, a small peristomium, two chaetigers (or two chaetigers and one additional segment without chaetae), and a minute pygidium. A digestive system and an intraepidermal nervous system were developed. Larval organs such as the prototroch, the neurotroch, and an apical organ were present, along with juvenile/adult organs such as tentacles, uncini, pyriform glands, and the anlage of the nephridial organ. We propose that in vestimentiferans, the vestimentum is the head arising from the prostomium, peristomium, and the anterior part of the first chaetiger. In frenulates, in contrast, the head is composed on the one hand of the cephalic lobe arising from the prostomium and on the other of the forepart developing from the peristomium and the anterior part of the first chaetiger. In frenulates the muscular septum between the forepart and trunk develops later than the first two chaetigers. Since this septum has no counterpart in vestimentiferans, the forepart-trunk border of frenulates is not considered homologous with the vestimentum-trunk border in vestimentiferans. The obturacular region in vestimentiferans does not appear to be a body region but rather the head appendages arising from the first chaetiger. In contrast, the tentacles in frenulates are prostomial head appendages. In both taxa, the trunk is the posterior part of the first chaetiger, and the opisthosoma is the following chaetigers and the pygidium. Comparisons with other polychaetes suggest that two larval segments are autapomorphic for the monophyletic Siboglinidae.

Abstract
Although the peritrophic membrane (PM) is a common extracellular construction in many invertebrate groups, evidence of the location of its secretion has never been reported. In this study a specific marker for chitin has been developed, enabling a separate examination of secretion of the chitinous and proteinaceous components of the PM in the millipede, Glomeris marginata. Chitin appears first at the base of the microvilli (MV), synchronized in adjacent cells along the entire length of the midgut. Evidence showing that it originates at the plasma membrane is discussed. Proteinaceous components appear to be added from the MV to the chitinous sheet as it moves along the MV toward the lumen. Precedence for such a dynamic role for MV in formation of extracellular structures is reviewed. The completed PM extends around individual items in the gut contents as well as forming a multilayered envelope; this may enhance both its digestive and protective functions.

Abstract
The symbiotic polychaetes of the genus Osedax living on the bones of whale carcasses have become known as bone-eating worms. It is believed that whale bones are the source of nutrition for those gutless worms and that fatty acids are produced by their symbionts and transferred to the host. However, the symbionts are of the heterotrophic group Oceanospirillales and as such are not able to synthesize organic carbon de novo. Also, they are not housed in close contact to the bone material. We studied the ultrastructure of the integument overlying the symbiont housing trophosome in the ovisac region and the roots region and of the symbiont-free trunk region of Osedax to investigate the host's possible contribution in feeding for the whole symbiosis. The epidermis differs conspicuously between the three regions investigated and clearly points to being correlated with different functions carried out by those regions. The ultrastructure of the integument of the root region changed towards the ovisac region and corresponds with the change of the ultrastructure observed in the Osedax trophosome. We suggest that the epidermis in the root region is tightly linked to bone degradation and nutrient uptake. The trunk region possess two types of unicellular gland cells, at least one of which seems to be involved in secretion of the gelatinous tube of adult Osedax females.

Abstract
The ventral pedal gland in the foot of the mature female whelk Buccinum undatum L. consists of a shallow pouch containing a layer of elongated cells which partially penetrate a basement membrane overlying layers of smooth muscle. This glandular epithelium contains acid mucopolysaccharide cells, ciliated and interstitial cells as well as the upper part of a new type of subepidermal gland cell. These gland cells consist of an elongated extracellular tubular duct formed by an invagination of the cell membrane and lined by numerous microvilli. Into this duct are discharged packets of a densely staining secretion. The secretion packets are produced in Golgi regions around the nuclei of the cells and are passed up through the cell to the base of the duct through or along an extensive assemblage of microtubules. The secretion packets show organized internal structure and may contain aromatic aldehydes and protein associated with the sclerotization of the egg capsules, which pass through the gland after leaving the genital tract.
