Fig. 3. Sagittal view of the mantle of a juvenile Sepioteuthis lessoniana
that shows (A) the relative proportions of superficial mitochondria-rich (SMR)
and central mitochondria-poor (CMP) circular muscle fibres. A nerve (N) and
radial muscle fibres (R) are also visible in the micrograph. Compare A with
Fig. 2A and note that juveniles
have a much larger proportion of CMP to SMR circular muscle fibres. B and C
show magnified views of the SMR and CMP cells, respectively. Scale bars in B
and C are 10 µm. Bright-field microscopy of 1 µm glycol methacrylate
sections stained with 1% Toluidine Blue.
