Abstract
AbstractThe morphology and physiology of the MC1 mero‐carpopodite organ of the crayfish Cherax destructor was compared with those of the better known northern hemisphere species and found to be closely similar. The nerves to the organ were prepared using a fine dissection technique and backfilled with Cobalt chloride to reveal the central endings. This first description of the central endings of a crayfish proprioceptor reveals that it has relatively restricted distribution in the ventral, ipsilateral hemiganglion. The similarity with results from insects is discussed.
