Abstract
Light and electron microscope studies of peripheral neurons on nerves in the abdominal segments of the stick insect (Carausius morosus) reveal distinct differences between a group of eight or nine that are probably sensory and a group of about four that are actively neurosecretory. In addition to the characteristic granules produced by these cells four other types of neurosecretory granules have been identified. A map of the distribution of the five types has been constructed from electron-micrographs of sections of the main peripheral nerves. In each main abdominal segment there are also approximately 48 pairs of sub-epidermal neurons.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
