TL;DR: The release of neurotransmitter did not significantly enhance the labelling of phospholipids in any of the fractions studied as compared with phospholips from unstimulated fractions, and in each case there was a close similarity of theospholipid distributions in the vesicle distributions.

TL;DR: The electric organ of Torpedo consists of two masses of gelatinous tissue disposed one on each side of the head, having a honeycomb structure when viewed from above.
Abstract: The electric organ of Torpedo (Fig. 1) consists of two masses of gelatinous tissue disposed one on each side of the head, having a honeycomb structure when viewed from above. Each “cell” of the honeycomb is in reality a vertical stack of electroplaque cells, each profusely innervated on the lower (ventral) surface; when the electric nerves discharge synchronously, the postjunctional potentials thus generated summate to give sizeable electric discharges (25–35 v in T. marmorata).
