Figure 6

Schematic illustration of the change in cell arrangement during the hydrocoel lobe morphogenesis. (a) represents an auricularia larva and (b) represents the development of its hydrocoel. The upper panel shows the overall shape of the hydrocoel, and the cell arrangement of the hydrocoel epithelium in dotted areas is shown in the lower panel. The hydrocoel at phase 1 consists of a single cell sheet, and it seemed to be multilayered at phase 2. As the formation of the hydrocoel lobe proceeded, the cell sheet became single layered again sequentially from the tip of the hydrocoel lobe (phase 3) to the proximal part of the lobe (phase 4).
