Tóm tắt

Small extrusions of glial cytoplasm are endocytosed by neuron cell bodies of the crayfishProcambarus. Vesicles are double walled with the external membrane issuing from the neuron and the internal one from the glia. This could be a system for the transfer of glial cytoplasmic free proteins to neurons.
