Ultrastructural comparison of the perisympathetic organs in three Coleoptera: Chrysocarabus auronitens F., Oryctes rhinoceros L. and Tenebrio molitor L.

Abstract:

:Ultrastructural comparison of different types of perisympathetic organs (POs) in three species of Coleoptera (Chrysocarabus auronitens, Oryctes rhinoceros, and Tenebrio molitor) showed that the structure of these organs was not related to their morphological types but to their topography. Two kinds of PO structure may be distinguished: compact median and diffuse lateral. They were similar in that both were surrounded by thin neural lamellae and exhibited numerous glial cells originating in the perineurium (type I perineurial cells) as well as abundant neurosecretory endings. They were different in as much as in median POs, the neurosecretory endings were generally surrounded by perineurial processes but in transverse POs, these endings were sheathless. Only one type of neurosecretory axon was distinguished in the median organs but three or four in the transverse. The nature of the processes by which neurosecretory granules are released may depend on the type of neurosecretory axon. For instance, exocytosis always occurred for dense spherical granules, and granule fragmentation was visualized for granules of smaller size.
