Nephridopore Low power transmission electron micrograph of a transverse section accross the floor of the kidney sac illustrating the location of the three main epithelial types associated with the kidney surfaces. Large blocks of muscle in the lips forming the nephridopore control the contractions of the sphincter and the movements of fluids between the lumen of the kidney sac and the pallial cavity. ce = ciliated epithelium cv = connective tissue vesicular cells kl = lumen of kidney sac ko = opening of kidney m = muscle blocks me = mantle epithelium re = renal epithelium Scale bar represents 10 micrometers
