Аннотация:The organization of the musculature and nervous system of the larvae ofEntoprocta is still poorly investigated. Only a few species have been studied using methodsof immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy. Previously investigated larvae belongto creeping-type larvae or swimming-type larvae with a completely reduced foot. Thisstudy describes the myoanatomy and nervous system (α-tubulin labeling) of the larva ofBarentsia gracilis, the swimming-type larva with a partially reduced foot. The musculatureof B. gracilis includes the muscles of the apical organ, various longitudinal and transversemuscles of the episphere, the musculature of the foot rudiment, the ring and longitudinalmuscles of the prototroch, and the musculature of the hyposphere. The nervous systemincludes the apical and frontal ganglia connected by apico-frontal connectives, paired footknob nerves, foot nerves and frontal nerves, several fine transverse nerves of the episphere,and the nerve ring of the prototroch.
