The alimentary canal is supplied by two visceral nerves. The first has a threefold origin, being formed by the junc- tion of a nerve from the cerebral ganglion with two nerves which arise Fig. 165.—A semi-dia- grammatic view of central nervous sys- tem of a crayfish. , , The first and sixth abdominal ganglia; cer., cerebral ganglion; , circumoesophageal com- missure ; /.c, longi- tudinal commissures of ventral cord ; , nerves to abdominal limbs; , nerve to antennule ; , nerve to antenna : , nerve to cheliped ; , nerves to limbs adjoining the mouth ; , optic nerve ; ganglion ; , sternal artery; th. i, 1, first and sixth thoracic ganglia; , nerve to proven- triculus; '., nerve to 71. ah.
