SOME MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF CATECHOLAMINE STORING NERVE VESICLES,
Abstract
Subcellular particles rich in noradrenaline have been obtained from homogenized bovine splenic nerves. After staining with phosphotungstic acid, the existence of granules 0.03 - 0.1 micron in diam was noted. A characteristic feature is the occurrence of notches, which often were extended to tail-like structures on opposite sides of the granules. Frequently the vesicles occurred in pairs and sometimes even in short chains. This is suggestive of a system similar to granular formation in the Golgi apparatus, which might mean that the granules are arranged in a type of lattice in the axon, and presumably in the terminals.
