hierarchical_section_title: Müller's larva
caption_attribution_description: English: A generalized Müller's larva of a free=living turbellarian of the phylum platyhelminthes. It bears many similarites to the trochophore larva, and helps to anchor the platyhelminthes as an outgroup to the lophotrochozoa.
context_page_description: Müller's larva or Mulleria is a larva of some Polycladida. It has 8-fold symmetry and is somewhat like a ctenophore. Müller’s larva is ciliated and has several paired and unpaired lobes. The cilia on the lobes are longer than cilia on the rest of the body. At the anterior and posterior ends of the larva are tufts of longer cilia. The apical tuft originates from the apical organ, a sensory structure associated with the central nervous system.
  It is named after Johannes Peter Müller, a German physiologist who invented the plankton net, and first described larval forms of many phyla.
