Zusammenfassung

Es werden neuartige, segmental angeordnete Öffnungen in der Myelinscheide der medianen Riesenfaser des RegenwurmsLumbricus terrestris beschrieben, durch welche die Axonmembran direkt an die extrazelluläre Kollagenhülle des Bauchmarkperineuriums heranreicht. Dieser Befund wird in Hinblick auf den Mechanismus der Erregungsleitung myelinisierter Nervenfasern von Wirbellosen diskutiert.
