Table 1.
Areas of ganglion elements. Seven ganglia were analysed (three-letter code in the third column), by measuring the sectional areas in micrometres as a percentage of the summation of the area of all the elements, and the lengths (or perimeter) of their plasma membrane. In the second column is the number of elements of the given type in that ganglion
