| Abstract: | The axon terminals of neurosecretory cells, containing elementary granules of neurosecretory materials, have been described on the basis of light and electron microscopy. No allochthonous neurosecretory elements were found in the sinus gland. The discharge of the granules from some terminals of the sinus gland occur with the changed salinity of the environment. There is a great difference in the structure of the sinus gland when salinity is changed. The structure of the sinus gland and its modification under experimental conditions indicate a possibility of neurohormonal regulation of the hydromineral balance. |
