This section shows one primary meridian (1o) that
includes cilium/basal body complexes as well as mucocysts and two
secondary meridians (2o) containing only mucocysts.
A longitudinal ribbon (lo mt) lies at the crest of the
pellicular ridge. Alveolar septa (arrowheads) lie along both
meridians. Mucocyst tips (arrows) poke through these septa.
