• Abstract:

  Sabellariidae Polychaetes

  are marine animals and some species build

  biogenic reefs. Their foods depends on the habit

  of life, but most of them are filters. The present

  study was developed in the sandy reef located

  in Boa Viagem beach (PE) and aims analyze 

  histologically the morphology of the intestine of Phragmatopoma caudata. The collected

  material was transported to the Marine Biology Laboratory of Institue of Biological

  Science of University of Pernambuco (ICB/UPE), properly conditioned in a container

  with ice. The specimens were processed histologically and submitted to the routine

  protocol including in paraffinic material, the slides were stained by PAS. A microtome

  was used to make cross-sections to the anteroposterior axis of 5 μm thickness. The

  histological slides were analyzed in the Laboratory of Histological Techniques of the

  Institute of Biological Sciences of the ICB/UPE. The morphological aspects of the

  intestine of P. caudata consists of a lumen mucosa presenting numerous folds ranging

  from digitiforme to foliaceous, absorptive epithelial cells and among these absorptive

  cells an abundance of mucous cells was observed.
