Figure 1. Dissection protocol overview.

Figure 1.

A) Diagram showing the initial dissection to expose the internal side of the body wall. B) Photo depicting the exposed interior of the animal with the radial nerve cord (RNC)-longitudinal muscle areas identified with large black rectangles. C) Diagram of a transverse section of the body wall including RNC, longitudinal muscles and coelomic cavity. Dashed lines represent the three incisions made to excise the RNC from the animal. D) Photograph of RNC explants isolated from surrounding tissue after 24 hours of enzymatic dissection. BW, body wall; RNC, radial nerve cord; LM, longitudinal muscle; RC, radial canal; CC, coelomic cavity.
