Transverse ionic passages through the cuticular ductules from the haemocoel to the glandular cavities and the lumen of the spermathecal duct in female crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus)
Abstract:In the spermathecal duct of the female cricket Gryllus bimaculatus, the glandular cells, each of which has a central cavity, and the cuticular ductules, extending from the cuticular intima of the spermathecal duct, are widely distributed along the duct's length, except in the proximal and distal regions. The cuticular ductules approach the glandular cavities along a tortuous course and enter them, or run down towards them to terminate in the region of the basement membrane. When an isolated spermathecal duct w… Show more
