Fig. 14. Nerves and muscles in the manubrium. Nerves are labelled with
anti-FMRFamide, muscles with phalloidin. (A) One of the four manubrial lips
(l) with FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity (FaIR) in a nerve tract (t) running
aborally. This tract becomes the small axon bundle that goes to the margin.
(B) Sensory cells at the lip edge. (C) Longitudinal (horizontal) and circular
myofibrils in the wall of the manubrium. The longitudinal muscles are
concentrated into longitudinal muscle bands (lmb) that underlie the FaIR nerve
tracts shown in A.
