The statocyst is protected by a transparent dome made of long, immobile cilia. |
When the cilia beat, the effective stroke is toward the statocyst, so that the animal normally swims oral end first. |
The appearance of larval structures, such as the velum, statocyst, left and right digestive diverticula, eyespots, and propodium was recorded. |
Many sensory cells and organs are concentrated in the antennae, and a statocyst is found at the base of each antenna. |
Statocyst located in antero-ventral region of pedal ganglia. |
Then the shaking causes the snails statocyst to release GABA, which binds to the neuron. |
