SIntroFIG 11: The S. stercoralis amphid sensillum.

A.TEM image of one of the paired amphid sensilla of an S. stercoralis iL3. The amphid neurons (center) are connected to each other and to the sheath cell via tight junctions. Surrounding the amphid neurons are processes from the lamellar neuron, which was originally called the lamellar cell or ALD neuron (Ashton et al., 1995) but has since been identified as the AFD neuron (Bryant et al., 2022).

Diagram of the amphidial bundle, showing the lamellar processes of the AFD neuron surrounding the other amphidial neuron processes (left, front). Images are reproduced from Ashton et al., 1995 with permission.
