This is the second of two papers based on a systematic multi-wavelength (X,B, H, 12$\mu$m, FIR, 6cm) statistical analysis of the {\it Einstein ObservatoryGalaxy Catalog} sample of 234 `normal' S0/a-Irr galaxies. This sample isrepresentative of spiral galaxies (Paper I), and its wide wavelength coverageprovides a unique opportunity for a systematic exploration of the relationsamong different emission bands, that can give novel insight on the differentemission processes and their relation to galaxian components, as a function ofgalaxy morphology.Comment: text, 7 figs, 2 tables, submitted to Ap.
