TEM micrographs of nerve cells of Dibothriocephalus latus plerocercoids. Section through a nerve fibre under the basal lamina and longitudinal musculature (a). Nerve fibres containing spherical electron-dense granules below the muscle layers (b). Longitudinal section through a deeper part of the parenchyma showing nerve fibres with neurosecretory granules (c). Neurosecretory granules and mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the nerve cells (d, e). Abbreviations: CM, circular muscles; MT, mitochondria; N, nucleus; NU, nucleolus; BF, nerve fibre; NSG, neurosecretory granules
