Each muscular fibre has at least one nerve endplate, but occasionally has several in near proximity. An endplate is generally supplied by one, sometimes, however, by two, nerve-fibres.

In Batrachia the nerve-fibre does not, as a rule, termi- nate in the shape of a granular endplate, but having penetrated the sarcolemma ramifies into several axis cylinders, each of which again branches; all branches have a more or less longitudinal direction, and are provided, either terminally or in.
