Abstract |
The optic ganglia neurosecretory cells of male and female C.maenas during intermoult are distinguishable into 6 types based on size, location, appearance and method of secretory material release from the perikaryon. Release occurs via the sinus gland and also, in one case, directly into blood capillaries among the neurosecretory cells themselves. The sinus gland consists of axonal extensions of the neurosecretory cells; no secretory granules are produced there and nuclei observed between the axonal endings are those of ill-defined glial cells. |
