Ultrastructure of nuchal organs in some marine polychaetes

Polychaetes normally possess one pair of nuchal organs at the posterior edge of the prostomium or peristomium. They have been regarded as chemosensory organs. The nuchal organs of four marine polychaete species with different habits were investigated by electron microscopy.
