Abstract

By means of retrograde transport of the fluorescent marker primulin the initial part of the sympathetic innervation of the myenteric nervous plexus of the descending colon has been characterized in cats and guinea pigs. When primulin is injected into the myenteric nervous plexus, marked neurons are revealed in the caudal mesenteric ganglion, in the celiac plexus ganglia, in the sympathetic trunk ganglia. The marked nervous populations of the extramural sympathetic ganglia differ in their form, size, number of neurons and their distribution.
