3, arrows), most likely deposited along polymer fibrils or bundles laid down by the formative general epidermal and derived organule cells (Lawrence 1966, Merritt 2007).
Calcite itself would not be an effective material choice as a lining of the cuticular organule canals because in the enclosed small diameter (but extended length) of a gland or neurite canal, proton gradients could be established by bacteria that could dissolve a calcite lining easily.
We did not find any particularly enhanced or diminished flux of [Ca.sup.2+] or [H.sup.+] over the organule canal openings, which indicates that they are well surrounded by calcite at the surface, as indicated in Fig.
