Summary
| Description |
English: Fig. 72.—Torpedo Galvani, showing the prisms of the electric organ as seen from the dorsal surface. Each organ contains about 800 prisms, and each prism is divided by delicate membranous plates, separated from each other by a jelly-like fluid. Each prism has about 600 plates, and as there are 800 prisms in each electric organ, the organ contains about half a million electric plates, each of which is supplied by a nerve filament. The figure shows the large nerve trunks, b, ending in the smaller nerves, a, distributed to the prisms. See File:Life in Motion Fig 73.png.
