Gymnophallus sp. metacercariae, body-wall musculature. a: scheme showing the arrangement of longitudinal, diagonal, and additional groups of muscle fibers on the ventral side of the trunk; b: superficial frontal optical slice through the body wall (ventral); c: Z-stack of frontal optical slices of midbody. al – anteriolateral muscle fibers; ar – anterioradial muscle fibers; cm – circular muscle fibers; dm – diagonal muscle fibers; ium-1 and ium-2 – muscle fibers of iU-shaped sets; kcm – muscular ring around the ventral knob; lm – longitudinal muscle fibers; os – oral sucker; pr – posterioradial muscle fibers; vcm – muscular ring around the ventral sucker opening; vk – ventral knob; vllm – ventrolateral longitudinal muscle bands; vmlm – ventromedial longitudinal muscle fibers; vs – ventral sucker. Scale bars 10 μm
