Some 13,000 discs or plates occur in each electric organ of Raja pulchra. The electroplates are derived in the embryo from electroblasts. These resemble sarcoblasts, the precursors of muscle, but they have lost the ability to contract, and develop greatly expanded end-plate surfaces. The electric organs are under nervous control and are richly Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Nicol, J.
