Figure 10

The distribution of dopaminergic neurons and axons in the albumen gland of H. duryi (not to scale). Dopaminergic nerve endings form a uniform network that is consistent across all parts of the albumen gland (AG) except for the central region, where the axons are parallel forming a nerve tract. Neuronal cell bodies (open circles) are visible in the vicinity of the tract. The nerve tract originates from the carrefour (cf). A great number of closely packed together dopaminergic cells (open circles) make up walls of the carrefour.
