Orthotriaenes and oxeas under the cortex are more or less radially arranged, in small bundles; the cladomes of the orthotriaenes are juxtaposed to the endocortex. Under this peripheral arrangement (

Dark granular cells (1114 µm) are present from the cortex to the choanosome although their density decreases under the peripheral layer.
