Digestive system of Limnoria. a Schematic lateral view of the animal (typically 2–3 mm long) showing one of the two bi-lobed hepatopancreases (Hp) connected to the anterior of the tubular gut; position of manifold (M) and filter system (FS) as indicated, food mass in hindgut indicated by dark coloration; pH values indicated at points measured. b Scanning electron micrograph of chitinous cuticle lining of the hindgut (scale bar, 5 µm). c Transmission electron micrograph of sectioned hepatopancreas cell with microvilli (Mv) facing the hepatopancreas lumen (scale bar, 2 µm). d Oxygen concentration measured by a microprobe withdrawn from the hindgut (Gut) through the body of four individual animals into surrounding seawater (scale bar, 0.5 mm)
