In Lytocestus indicus putative neurosecretory cells (pNSC) are recognized on the basis of phloxinophilic and fuchsinophilic nature of their cytoplasm; pNSC in L. indicus are dimensionally small. Morphologically, there are four types of pNSC: a-, uni-, bi-, and multipolar cells. They are found both in the cortical and medullary parenchyma of the neck and strobilar regions; in the latter the pNSC occur in close vicinity with the longitudinal muscles and components of the reproductive system.
