Abstract
The gross morphology of the nervous system supplying the dorsal longitudinal flight muscles of tsetse flies is described. Electron microscopical investigation of the nerves reveals that the dorsal longitudinal muscles are innervated by branches from four main axons. A detailed description of the neuromuscular junctions in the flight muscle is presented.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
