Abstract
Excitatory and inhibitory neuromuscular synapses in the thoracic deep flexors of the crayfish were examined using electron microscopy. Excitatory nerve terminals were found to have larger synaptic vesicles and a greater synaptic cleft distance than did inhibitory terminals. These results were confirmed by fixation enhancement of differences in synaptic vesicle morphology and the experimental depletion of vesicles in the excitatory nerve terminals.
