Abstract
- A nematocyte complex in a hydromedusan, Gonionemus vertens, consists of a nematocyst-containing cell that is connected by desmosomes to three epitheliomuscular cells. Each epitheliomuscular cell has two foot processes on which rests a pedicel from an adjacent nematocyte. A model to describe such a nematocyte-epitheliomuscular cell association is proposed. The nematocyte complex is innervated by an axon from the epidermal nerve plexus that synapses with the basal region of the nematocyte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
