| Function | The atrial gland peptide A and peptide B precursors are the source of the 2 peptides that; upon release from this reproductive system gland; initiate the egg-laying process by exciting the bag cell neurons. These neurons; clustered in neural connectives near the abdominal ganglion; in turn release other peptides that act directly on the ganglion and also; via the circulating hemolymph; on many other organs to control the physiological processes of egg-laying. One of these other peptides is the egg-laying hormone.; Injected in sexually mature animals califin A excites LB and LC cells of the abdominal ganglion and causes egg-laying. |
