Figure 1From: Immunohistochemical localization of hepatopancreatic phospholipase in gastropods mollusc, Littorina littorea and Buccinum undatum digestive cellsLittorea. littorina. (A), Littorea. littorina fished in Franch Brittany coast. (B), the shell has been removed in the posterieur side taking care to keep the mantle is intact. The marine snail sagittal section exhibited the hepatopancreas in the posterieur side. (C), light microscopic view of sections of digestive glands. Sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for observing the general morphology. (D and E), magnification of the digestive diverticula sectioned longitudinally. T: digestive tubule. DC: digestive cell. BC: basophilic cell. L: lumen of digestive tubule.Back to article page
