Fig. 2. Arrangements of larval neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) formed in ventral longitudinal body-wall musculature. (A) A schematic diagram is shown to represent the segmental arrangement of larval body-wall musculature. The ventral longitudinal body-wall muscles (VLMs) consisting of muscles 7, 6, 13 and 12 are enclosed in the red box. (B) A representative example of NMJs formed in the VLMs (A) is shown for WT. Three and four different innervations by presynaptic axon branches are indicated in muscles 13 and 12, respectively (arrowheads). Note a distinctive innervation of an axon forming type III boutons (hereafter type III axon) in muscle 12 (red arrowhead).
