in red, cell nuclei are labelled in blue to indicate the outline of the specimen.<br />
Anterior faces upward and the specimen is approximately 280 µm long.<br />
Back: Schematic illustration of the specimen shown on front. The musculature<br />
comprises pedicle muscles (beige), longitudinal muscles (orange), central<br />
mantle muscles (brown), a U-shaped muscle (green), setae pouch muscles<br />
