ZOOL 409: HISTOLOGY

Department of Zoology
Southern Illinois University at Carbondale

Slide 87

Motor nerve endings on skeletal muscle, unspecified source. 
This is a "whole mount" or "tissue spread", not a section: The site where a motor nerve enters its muscle has been dissected free, and the nerve and muscle fibers have been spread out on the slide.

Motor axons appear as fine black fibers.  Find the nerve, then follow the axons to find the nerve endings.
