Morphology: What is the morphology of this neuron type? What types of dendrite(s), axon(s) and soma does it have?
Peer-reviewed evidence to support your answer to each question. The citations to the sources of these answers and the references (in APA format) for all the literature cited.
Please answer the questions above and cite your research in APA format.(3 references peer-reviewed) Research must be on the sonic motor neuron of the Midshipman fish NOT fish in general. Thank you!
Explanation / Answer
The morphology of the midshipmanfish comprises of the various types.The Type I territorial males are posessed with the vocalizations which are connected with paired muscles in the swimming bladder to attract females,On the other hadrh the type II males usually posess the larger reproductive organs and the Type II males are able to move into nests as they look similar to the females and fertilize laid eggs.
.As far as the dendrites are concerned there are expansive dendritic and axonal arbors which are present in the vocal pacemaker neuron.The cells have v ery large somatic openings .
