English: Cross-section of electric eel, then called "Gymnotus electricus", by John Hunter, 1775. The electric organs are labelled "H" for the main organ (that stuns the prey), and "I" for what is now called Hunter's organ, that assists the main organ. The vertebral column is shown at the centre, and the large swimming muscles of the back are marked "C". |
