In the second form, , in the non-medullated nerve fibres, the me- dullary sheath is absent, the axis cylinder being either naked or sur- rounded by a connective tissue sheath. The axis cylinder here also is connected with a ganglion cell (sympathetic nerves, nerves of Cyclostomata and Invertebrates). Very often, however, and this is especially the case with sense nerves, we find that the axis cylinder may break up into very fine nerve fibrillse, and be, so to speak, resolved into its elements. Finally, the nerves of In- vertebrates very often appear as finely striated bundles of fibrillfe, in which, on account of the absence of a sheath, it is not possible to recognise the limits of the individual axis cylinders. Peripherally the sensory nerves become connected with accessory structures (end-or- gans), derived usually from epithelial cells and their cuti- cular products, or rarely from connective tissue substance (tactile organs). The end- organs are therefore for the most part derived from modi- fied epithelial cells (sensory epithelium). G-anglion cells are frequently found inserted in the course of the nerve fibres close to their termination (fig. 39, a, h, c.)
