PhaFIG 10C_J The processes of three of the pharyngeal neurons M1, M2 and M3

PhaFIG 10C-J: The processes of three of the pharyngeal neurons M1, M2 and M3.

These neurons have unusual trajectories. All panels are transverse TEMs. Bars in C-J, 1 μm. (Image source: N2W [MRC] A382-A409.)
C. M3 cell bodies are near the ventral g1 duct openings into the lumen.
D. Pharyngeal nerve ring is composed of the circumferential neuron processes.
E-J. Consecutive sections through the first bulb show the trajectories of M2 and M3 processes piercing pm4 to reach the dorsal cord.
