- Аннотация: Brachiopoda is a relict group of invertebrate filter feeders that used a tentacle organ, lophophore, for capturing food particles from the water column. Brachiopod extinction apparently occurred due to low productivity of their filtering organ in comparison with more advanced filter-feeders. Investigation of the filtering mechanism of modern brachiopods is essential to understanding their evolutionary fate. This study is devoted to the rejection mechanism of large waste particles from the plectolophous lophophore of brachiopod Coptothyris grayi. The waste particles gather inside of the lophophore on the outer side of the brachial fold. The particles form rows along frontal grooves of outer tentacles and are carried successively to the tentacle tips and move along them, slimed by mucus. One portion of the particles comes off the lophophore and falls down the mantle, while another part is carried to the abfrontal surface of the tentacles. Due to repeated reversals of abfrontal cilia, the particles wavily move along the abfrontal surface of tentacles. Such movement contributes to the secretion of mucus and the formation of particle clots. The clots come off the lophophore and fall down the mantle. The particles are transported along the mantle by cilia to the anterior part of the mantle margin. Here the ciliary reversals that facilitate secretion of mucus and formation of pseudofeces also take place. The latter takes away from the mantle cavity. Thus, only outer tentacles participate in the rejection of large waste particles from the lophophore. Ciliary reversals of the abfrontal surface of tentacles and the mantle are discovered in brachiopods for the first time. This facilitates the additional secretion of mucus and formation of pseudofeces, easing their exit from the mantle cavity. The results contribute to the knowledge of lophophore function and evolution of tentacle organs in Bilateria.
