[Ultrastructure of the lateral vessel walls of the tube of Bonellia (Bonellia viridis, Echiuridae)].
The present studies show the presence of a singular structure: a myoepithelial syncytium with the bases of the cells being embedded in a hypertrophied basal lamina containing collagen, in which bundles of muscular fibers also penetrate. The cells forming a vascular pseudo-endothelium are probably immobilised haemocytes.
