Numbers and central projections of crab second maxilla motor Neurones

The second maxilla is innervated typically by 35 motor neurones in Nectocarcinus antarcticus and about 39 in Cancer novaezelandiae. Muscles are multiply innervated. Within one species variations in the number of motor neurones innervating any muscle do occur but are not common.
