Ultrastructural Changes of the Hermaphrodite Duct Epithelium by Season in a Korean Slug Incilaria fruhstorieri
한국산 산민달팽이(Incilaria fruhstorferi) 장웅동체관 상피의 계절에 따른 미세구조의 변화
Abstract
A studv on the ultrastructural changes of the hermaprodite duct epithelium in spring and summer specimens of a Korean slug Incirovia fruhstorferi was conducted. In spring specimen, the hermaphrodite duct was 0.3 H 0.2 mm in diameter and seemed to be a little bit abnormal feature, due to shrinkage. The epithelium of the duct was composed of cells containing various-sized vacuoles and their cytoplasm showed high electron density. In summer specimen, the hermaphrodite duct was 0.4
