It is possible that this cell will be lost after larval development.” “The gonad syncytium formation already starts as early as in 10 hpf juveniles by the cell fusion of germ cells, although it is not possible to discern males or females at this stage.”"]]
- The oocytes originate from a specialised syncitium, the coenocyst, in which
nurse cells and oocytes are connected by cytoplasmic bridges, the ring channels
([[Ganot and coll., 2007|biblio/17126826]]).
+ - The gonad syncytium forms as early at 10 hpf ([[Nishida and coll., 2021|biblio/33649401]]).
- Oocytes lacking odCDK1d can not resume from meiosis from prophase I arrest,
and therefore are non-viable after spawning ([[Øvrebø and coll., 2015|biblio/25714331]]).
- Oocytes are in metaphase I stage at the time of spawning ([[Ganot, Kallesøe
- The oral gland precursor is a syncytium with 4 nuclei that migrates
anteriorly. The two differentiated oral gland cells have two nuclei each,
as demonstrated by a co-staining of nuclei (H2B-mCherry) and cell membrane

- Oral gland and subchordal cells, which were thought to be related, do not originate
from the same blastomere ([[Onuma and coll., 2020|biblio/32029598]]).
- The subchordal cell precursors migrate along the right side of the notochord
in the central canal ([[Holmberg and Olsson, 1984|biblio/reissner_oik]]).
- In contrary to Kowalevskiidae, ([[Brena, Cima and Burighel, 2003|biblio/10.1002_jmor.10145]]),
_Oikopleura_ do have a heart.

Physiology
----------

granular inclusions in the house. In species without oral glands,
bioluminescence might be caused by dinoflagellates.
+ - A 8th cell was seen in the Fol area at 10 hpf in the 3D tomography analysis
+ of [[Nishida and coll., 2021|biblio/33649401]]. It is possible that this cell
+ is lost during later development.
