Summary

The light- and electronmicroscopical structure of neurones, glial cells, extra cellular spaces, and perineurium were investigated in the different sex phases of Crepidula fornicata L. (males, intersexes, females). The electronmicroscopical structures of the granules, present in all nerve cells, are very heterogeneous and similar to those of cytosomes. The origin, growth, and structural changes of the cytosomes are described and their probable function is discussed. The topographical position of the neurosecretory cells in the cerebral ganglia is constant. The secretory products of these cells are transported along the axons partly by a small neurosecretory pathway, but the neurosesecretory system of Crepidula (Prosobranchia) is not so highly developed as that in the cerebral ganglia of other gastropods (for example in pulmonates). The glial cells can be devided into two types according to their different staining, the electronmicroscopical structure of their granules and their position in the central neuropil or in the peripheral layer of nerve cells. The intersexual phase is marked by a more evident content of neurosecretory material and more and larger granules in the peripheral glial cells.
