The ultrastructure of the epicardium epithelium of the slug, Arion ater (Linnaeus, 1758), (Pulmonata, Stylommatophora).
In the present paper we investigated the fine structure of terrestial slug Arion ater (L.) Interacisternal microtubules were formed in Arion ater, however they do not correspond to interacisternal polycylinders because they differ in size and they are not continuous with the membrane cistern. From our study it may be concluded that these intracisternal microtubules suggest an accumulation of protein.
