Abstract
ABSTRACT The morphology of seven types of identified neurones in buccal ganglia of Lymnaea was investigated by intracellular injection of Procion Yellow and retrograde injection of cobaltous chloride into the nerve roots of the buccal ganglia. The results provided anatomical support for the electrophysiological findings that some cells are motoneurones for muscles of the buccal mass (type 4-group cells, types 6 and 8 cells). Others project to nerves innervating oesophageal tissue (types 2, 3 and 5 cells) and to pro-oesophageal tissue (types 3 and 5 cells). The type-i cells project to the salivary gland ducts and are similar to the salivary gland motoneurones found in other molluscan species.
