TL;DR
Two major types of synaptic bulbs are defined on the motoneuron surface of the monkey, on the basis of content of agranular "synaptic" vesicles of two distinct kinds.
Abstract
Two major types of synaptic bulbs are defined on the motoneuron surface of the monkey, on the basis of content of agranular "synaptic" vesicles of two distinct kinds. Both types are present on dendritic as well as perikaryal surface. Because of the approximately equal numbers, the hypothesis that one type is excitatory and the other inhibitory naturally arises.

The findings are interpreted as suggestive of electrical transmission in the club endings of goldfish Mauthner cells as well as accumulations of dense material in pre- and postsynaptic neuroplasm.

The discovery in electron micrographs of a synaptic bouton arising directly from a node of Ranvier in the motor horn of the monkey spinal cord, and of a node covered by extensions of two outer lamellae of the myelin sheath, suggests a degree of variation of central nodal structure and development not usually attributed to nodes of Ranier.
