Intercellular gap junctions occur between the ciliated cells that make up the comb plates of the ctenophore Pleurobrachia. Similar junctions are found within the ciliated grooves which run from the apical organ to the first plate of each comb row, as well as throughout the endoderm of the meridional canals. Gap junctions were not found in the ectodermal tissue between the comb rows. The distribution of junctions suggests that excitation conduction within the ciliated grooves, comb plates and meridional canal endoderm may be epithelial.
细胞间缝隙连接出现在构成栉水母侧腕水母梳板的纤毛细胞之间。在从顶端器官延伸至每排梳板第一块板的纤毛沟内，以及子午管的整个内胚层中都发现了类似的连接。在梳板行之间的外胚层组织中未发现缝隙连接。连接的分布表明，纤毛沟、梳板和子午管内胚层中的兴奋传导可能是上皮性的。
