There are three of these cells per hemisphere, and they also express leucokinin receptor (Cabrero et al., 2002). Its dendrites extend ventrally and its axon crosses the midline, loops posteriorly, then anteriorly, joining the nervus corporis cardiaci (Huckesfeld et al., 2021). It has peptide release sites in the aorta and corpus cardiacum (Huckesfeld et al., 2021).
