Fig. 18. Model of WECB mechanics through maturation. Blue arrows denote sequential movement from generalized structure to modified structure as described: (A) generalized structure, (B) pre-ventral pedal gland (VPG; organ located in the foot where a final stabilization process renders WECB insoluble), (C) during VPG, and (D) post-VPG For detailed description, see text.
