title: The ultrastructure of glia-like cells in lateral nerve cords of adult Amphilina foliacea (Amphilinida).
abstract: The ultrastructure of main lateral nerve cords (MCs) of adult A. foliacea was studied. By examination of the serial sections it has been found that some glia-like cells are located on a periphery of MC. The processes of glia-like cells surround MCs and penetrate into the cord and surround the group of adjacent axons and pairs of neurones. There is a fine extracellular matrix between processes of glia-like cells. The numerous tight junctions occur between processes. The difference between the perykaryon's cytoplasm of glia-like cells in anterior, posterior and central part of MCs was found.
