The Distribution of Glycogen in the Tissues of Siboglinum Atlanticum [Pogonophora]
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
Light and electron microscopy showed the same distribution of glycogen. The peritoneal cells contain large amounts in all three body regions investigated: the forepart, metameric region and postannular region. Glycogen is present in most epidermal cells and is very abundant in some, particularly in the postannular region, but the cells which secrete the chitinous and proteinaceous components of the tube are almost devoid of glycogen.
