Unlike most other insects, mosquitoes do not process discrete corpora cardiaca composed of neuropile, intrinsic neurosecretory cells and glial cells. Cells homologous with the intrinsic neurosecretory cells of other insects are located at the junction of the neck and thorax of mosquitoes, close to the corpora allata. These cells are named cardiacal neurosecretory cells. Axons run forwards from the cardiacal neurosecretory cells into the allatal nerves. Neurosecretory release sites occur over almost the whole of the nervi corporum cardiacorum, allatal nerves and oesophageal nerves, and these nerves constitute a very extensive neurohaemal organ for many of the cerebral neurosecretory cells. The neurosecretory release sites of the cardiacal neurosecretory cells appear to be in the allatal nerves and possibly also on the perikarya of these cells.
