Abstract
The larval muscle cells of Diplosoma macdonaldi contain subcortical
and medullary myofibrils which are invested by fenestrated
sheets of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
are coupled with tubular invaginations of the sarcolemma. To
appreciate better such uncommon features of cellular organization, six
embryonic stages were selected for an ultrastructural study of myogenesis.
The proliferative, synthetic, and elaborative phases of myogenesis
were represented by embryos ranging from neurulae to prehatching
larvae.
