Muscle cells of a digenean fish blood fluke, Aporocotyle simplex, aggregate along the periphery of the cerebral ganglia. Solitary myocytons and sarcoplasmic processes with muscle fibres give rise to long, narrow lamellate projections, which are visible along the periphery and within ganglia. These ultrastructural observations suggest a switching of glial functions to muscle cells and represent additional evidence of the phylogenetic lability of glial cells in bilaterians.
