title: Ultrastructure studies on the nervous system of the land snail Eobania vermiculata (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora).
abstract: The ultrastructure of the different ganglia of the nervous system of the land snail had been investigated. This study had revealed that the neurosecretory granules are apparently formed from the Golgi apparatus and in other cases, the neurosecretory granules appeared to be related to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The nuclei of the pedal, pleural, parietal and visceral ganglia are irregular polymorphic in shape. The fine structure of the neurosecretory cells was the point of interest in the present investigation.
