Summary The organ of Bellonci of Carcinus maenas is made up of onion bodies and secretory cells. The onion body consists of a distal segment, of membranous whorls and granules, and a proximal nuclear cell body. They are joined by a modified double ciliary junction. Both a sensory and secrtory function is suggested. The secretory cells fall into two groups based on size, shape and organelles. Their presence suggests a secretory function to the organ of Bellonci.
