Abstract: 
Small arteries of nautiloids are composed of a three-layered wall. Terminal nerve fibres are well established within the tunica adventitia. Only there, a high acetylcholinesterase activitiy and catecholamines could be detected. Immunohistochemical attempts to localize the neuropeptide FMRFamide yielded positive reactions within nerve fibres of the tunica adventitia. The three-layered wall of the afferent branchial vessel (ABV) shows some structural pecularities : the multilayered tunica media is also well innervated and a marginal sinus is established. Three different vesicle types are distinguished in the axons of the nerve fibres. Longitudinally arranged fibres of obliquely striated muscle cells reach from the tunica media into the collagenous network of the tunica adventitia.
