The ultrastructure of a chemoreceptor organ in the head of copepod crustaceans
The ultrastructure of the paired nerves, previously called frontal organ or X-organ, in copepod crustaceans was investigated. These nerves, run- ning from the anterior margin of the brain to the frontal edge of the animals, are found to contain the dendrites of three types of morpho- logically different sensory neurons. The first unit consists of two dendrites (distinguished by their myelinization
