Abstract :

In the millipede Anoplodesmus tanjoricus dense neurosecretory material was observed in the ain .the structure of the neurosecretory system was studied. In the ain of adult millipede Anoplodesmus Tanjoricus three types of neurosecretory cells, designated as A,B,C were distinguished in the ain. The A cells were differentiated into A1, A2, A3, A4 and C cells into C1 and C2 types. The types differed from each other in their cytomorphology, stainability, distribution, neurosecretory activity and mode of discharge of secretary material. The neurosecretory cells became more evident, scattered among the neuroblasts along the periphery of the protocereum. The neurosecretory cells were distinguished from other neurons because of their large size and presence of neurosecretory material
