Abstract: | The investigation has been performed by means of the luminescent microscopical method. The retrograde axonal transport of the fluorescent marker primuline has demonstrated that a definite amount of labelled cells are observed in the celiac plexus, in nodes of the thoracic part of the sympathetic trunk (predominantly in Th6-Th8). Innervation of the EGP sphincter is mainly performed from the sympathetic trunk nodes (Th6-Th8) and from the celiac plexus. |
