Abstract
Uniciliate receptors occur on the body, tentacles and attachment disc of T. novae-zealandiae, often grouped in tufts or clusters. The free ends of the associated nerve processes project above the epidermal surface. Elongated microvilli are associated with the ciliary tufts. The receptive cilium has the typical 9+2 fibre pattern and a striated rootlet.Keywords
