Abstract

Ciliary organelles play important roles in many of the locomotory and sensory functions of ctenophores. This paper reviews published work on the physiology and behavior of ciliary-based feeding in Pleurobrachia pileus and presents recent preliminary work on the conduction pathway controlling this behavior. The feeding response can now be described in terms of specific physiological events at most levels of organization.
