Biology:Polythyridium
From HandWiki
The polythyridium is a component of the gut that surrounds the entrance of the intestine in priapulids of genus Tubiluchus. It comprises tuberculate and hairy plates associated with a strong muscle. These plates may help to keep unwanted particles out of the gut.[1]
