Abstract

Regeneration of structures (genital bars and ligaments) which enables ophiuroids to throw away the aboral part of the disc was studied in this work. The succession of disc separation during autotomy has been fixed. It has been revealed that upon restoration of genital bars and ligaments regeneration occurs due to migration of cells from tissues remaining after autotomy, but not due to differentiation of cell elements. The cell sources of regeneration of the studied structures are fibroblasts and sclerocytes.
