| Abstract: | A study was made of the ultrastructure of elements linking the bush-like receptors with tissues of the frog bladder. It is demonstrated that the connection is realized mainly by collagen fibres, whose dense and irregular net is branching the nervous terminals. Besides, a dense contact has been found between the terminals and epithelial cells without any layer of collagen fibres. No desmosomal connection between terminals and tissue elements was found. It is suggested that the above peculiarities of the connections may influence considerably the functional-adaptational characteristics of the receptors. |
