Notes:
Summary Nerve fibres, running longitudinally as well as circularly between the core lamellae in the Herbst corpuscle are described. These fibres are morphologically different from the central afferent axon. They are most frequently observed in the outer part of the core, and contain inter alia numerous agranular vesicles measuring approx. 450 Å in diameter, dense core vesicles with a diameter approx. 800 Å and microtubuli (250 Å). Occasional specialized junctions are seen between the nerves and the neighbouring lamellae.
