The innervation of Rana ridibunda esophagus myenteric plexuses has been studied by the following methods: demonstration of cholinesterase activity; FIF method for catecholamines; immunohistochemistry for VIP, SP and SOM, and conventional electron microscopy. The cholinergic innervation is important in the esophagus wall where, in addition to the well known extrinsic component, there is a rich intrinsic plexus with cells and fibres widely distributed. The esophagus, together with the intestine, are the Rana gut portions where the adrenergic component is more broadly expressed. The adrenergic innervation seems to be almost entirely of extrinsic origin. We have shown that, for the tested peptides, there is an intrinsic innervation represented by VIP, SP and SOM like plexuses. We do not discard nonetheless an extrinsic component. The ultrastructure reveals the morphological characteristics of the enteric neurons as well as the fine inter-relationships between the nervous elements and the functional components of the esophagic wall.  相似文献

1. The small intestine mucosa has a dense and differentiated innervation. The most dense nerve plexuses are contained in the villi. Each tubular gland is surrounded by a rope-ladder-like plexus, mostly developed in the lower and upper third. 2. According to our observations most of the axons in the mucosa are cholinergic. Cholinergic and adrenergic axons take part in the innervation of the glands. Moreover enterochromaffine cells can be innervated for instance sympathetically. Intraepithelial axons could not be found.  相似文献

Adrenergic innervation of the gut musculature in vertebrates   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Summary The adrenergic innervation of the gut musculature has been compared in various vertebrates (two teleost fish, an amphibian, a reptile and a mammal) by the fluorescent histochemical localization of certain monoamines. Very few, if any, adrenergic nerves occur within the longitudinal gut muscle of any of these animals, except for the taenia coli of the guinea-pig caecum. In contrast, the circular smooth muscle coat is supplied by varicose adrenergic nerves. These nerve fibres are particularly numerous in the toad large intestine, guinea-pig caecum, and throughout the eel gut, but are generally sparse or absent from the musculature of the stomach and small intestine of the trout, toad, lizard and guinea-pig. The extent of adrenergic innervation of the muscle has been discussed in relation to the physiology of the different muscle coats and to the general structure of the enteric plexuses in the vertebrate gut.  相似文献

The prostate innervation has been studied in 50 white rats, 12 rabbits, 12 guinea pigs, 6 cats and 6 dogs. Together with the impregnation techniques, Karnovsky-Roots method has been applied, for revealing cholinergic components, and the incubation method in 2% solution of glyoxylic acid, for revealing adrenergic nervous structures. Density of adrenergic and cholinergic nervous plexuses has been estimated by means of the planimetric point method. The prostate of the laboratory animals possesses well manifested adrenergic and cholinergic nervous plexuses. The organ's alveolus and ducts are covered with adrenergic and cholinergic fibers, however, the relative density of the cholinergic plexuses is less than that of the adrenergic ones. The guinea pig prostate is the most richly supplied with the adrenergic nervous plexuses, and the rabbit prostate--with the cholinergic nervous plexuses.  相似文献

Summary Dual innervation of snake cerebral blood vessels by adrenergic and cholinergic fibres was demonstrated with the use of histochemical methods. Although the nerve plexuses are somewhat less dense, the essential features of innervation of the blood vessels are similar to those of mammals with the exception that the adrenergic plexuses are more prominent than the cholinergic plexuses. The major arteries of the cerebral carotid system have a rich nerve supply. However, the innervation is less rich in the basilar and poor in the spinal (vertebral) arteries. Although the arteries supplying the right side of head are poorly developed, three pairs of arteries, cerebral carotids, ophthalmics and spinals, supply the snake brain. The carotids and ophthalmics are densely innervated and are accompanied by thick nerve bundles, suggesting that the nerves preferentially enter the skull along those arteries. Some parenchymal arterioles are also dually innervated. Connection between the brain parenchyma and intracerebral capillaries via both cholinergic and adrenergic fibres was observed. In addition cholinergic nerve fibres, connecting capillaries and the intramedullary nerve fibre bundles, were noticed. Capillary blood flow may be influenced by both adrenergic and cholinergic central neurons. The walls of capillaries also exhibit heavy acetylcholinesterase activity. This may indicate an important role for the capillary in the regulation of intracerebral blood flow.  相似文献

Summary The development of the adrenergic sympathetic innervation of the rabbit choroid plexus system was studied prenatally and up to two months after birth by a combination of fluorescence histochemistry (formaldehyde and glyoxylic acid methods) and quantitative enzymatic determinations of noradrenaline. The first signs of adrenergic nerves are found in the plexus of the third ventricle within the first day after birth. Fluorescent fibres subsequently appear in the choroid plexuses of the lateral ventricles (five days post partum) and the fourth ventricle (two weeks post partum). During the following development nerve fibres grow along blood vessels to form a plexus located between small vessels and the overlying epithelium. The nerve plexus, with varicose axon terminals, is fully developed at three weeks post partum, and maturation is then established by an increase in the number of terminals within the network of axons. There is a good agreement between (a) the development of the fluorescent nerves and histochemically visible adrenergic innervation, and (b) the tissue level of noradrenaline in the various choroid plexuses. Against the background of available information on the development of the secretory functions in choroid plexus, it is concluded that possibilities for a sympathetic neurogenic influence on the formation of cerebrospinal fluid exist already a few weeks after birth.  相似文献

Summary The development of the nerve supply of the pituitary pars intermedia (PI) of C3H mice was studied by electron microscopy. Nerve fibres and terminal structures, most probably adrenergic, first appear in the newborn. The adult innervation pattern is achieved by the end of the first postnatal week.In the adult animal two types of nerve terminals were distinguished; type A (peptidergic or neurosecretory) and type B (adrenergic). The peptidergic fibres were scarce and exhibited no synapse-like contacts. It is suggested that they are of secondary importance in a direct nervous hypothalamic control of PI function. Type B terminals were found throughout the PI. They formed synapse-like contacts with the glandular cells, indicating that the primary innervation is exerted by adrenergic neurons.An autonomous differentiation of the glandular cells and in the adult a combined direct nervous and neurohumoral control of PI function is suggested.This investigation was supported by grant No B 2180-026 from the Swedish Natural Science Research Council.

Although the enteric reflex pathway triggered by volume distension is known to depend on an adrenergic nerve, it is not known whether the slowing of intestinal transit by fat or peptide YY (PYY) also depends on an adrenergic pathway. The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that the slowing of transit by fat or PYY may depend on a beta-adrenergic pathway, and this adrenergic pathway may act via the serotonergic and opioid pathways previously observed for the slowing of transit by fat. Eighteen dogs were equipped with duodenal and midgut fistulas. The small intestine was compartmentalized into the proximal and distal half of gut. The role of adrenergic, serotonergic, and opioid pathways was then tested in the slowing of intestinal transit by fat, PYY, and norepinephrine. Intestinal transit results were compared as the cumulative percent marker of recovery over 30 min. We found that the slowing of transit by fat, PYY, or norepinephrine was reversed by propranolol. In addition, the slowing effect of fat was reversed by metoprolol (beta1-adrenoreceptor antagonist) but not phentolamine (alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonist). Furthermore, norepinephrine-induced slowing of transit was reversed by ondansetron (5-HT3 receptor antagonist) or naloxone (opioid receptor antagonist). Extending these physiological results, we also found by immunohistochemistry that beta1-adrenoreceptors are expressed by neurons of the intrinsic plexuses of the small intestine. We conclude that the slowing of intestinal transit by fat or PYY depends on a beta-adrenergic pathway and that this adrenergic pathway acts on serotonergic and opioid pathways.  相似文献

We study the esophagus of Podarcis hispanica through different methods to clarify the structure and affinities of its wall innervation. The acetylcholinesterase method reveals cholinesterase activity in two submucosal nervous plexuses, with an increasing degree of structural complexity in the reptilian esophagus, compared with amphibians. Noradrenergic innervation, detected through fluorescence induced by formol, widely spreads its network in both the myenteric and submucosal plexuses (around the blood vessels in the external submucosal plexus, and to the glandular lamina propria in the inner submucosal plexus). Immunohistochemistry for vasoactive intestinal peptide shows a widespread innervation, with neurons clustered in ganglia and also scattered through the VIPergic network, only at the myenteric plexus. Immunohistochemistry for substance P shows a rich innervation along the entire wall of the esophagus, more concentrated in its caudal region, around the blood vessels. Electron microscopy shows the enteric neuronal ultrastructure and its relationship with the esophagus wall.  相似文献

Summary The autonomic innervation of rat jugular vein was studied using glyoxylic acid fluorescence and acetylcholinesterase histochemical methods. The rat jugular vein is provided with both adrenergic and cholinergic nerve fibers organized in plexuses located at the adventitial-medial border. The existence of these nerve plexuses does not seem to support biochemical findings that suggest a lack of innervation in the rat jugular vein and which propose this blood vessel as a model for the analysis of drug-smooth muscle cell interaction without the interference of neuronal uptake mechanisms.  相似文献

In rats with diffuse peritonitis obtained by intraabdominal administration of a 10% fecal suspension (0.8 ml X 100g) neurohistochemical methods were used to study the adrenergic and cholinergic innervation of muscular membrane of the small and large intestine. It is shown that the disturbance of cholinergic innervation comes along with the intestinal paresis. Adrenergic innervation, represented by separate bundles, is found to be slightly affected.  相似文献

This work is devoted to the study of adrenergic terminal structures in the mesentery of mammals (cat, dog). The investigation was performed with the Falck-Hillarp method of catecholamine fluorescence microscopy on total stretch mesentery preparations. The investigation showed that richly developed perivascular plexus constitute the basis of the adrenergic innervation system of the mesentery. In numerous points of these plexuses, single adrenergic fibers or polyaxonal structures are observed to issue into nonvascular areas of the mesentery where after repeated dichotomic division they pass into the preterminal and terminal parts. Being constructed on the principle of extended or restrained arborizations, these innervating structures have a morphological similarity with free sensory nerve endings. In this connection, the question of the possible existence of the sensory (afferent) links in the catecholamine-containing vegetative nerve plexuses is discussed.  相似文献

By means of the neurohistochemical method for slice incubation in 2% solution of glyoxylic acid, innervation of the kidneys of a 57-year-old man after a sudden cardiac death has been investigated, as well as innervation of the kidneys in white rat, rabbit, guinea pig and cat. A rich adrenergic innervation in the organ's blood vessels has been revealed. In particular, adrenergic nervous fibers have been found along the course of afferent glomerular arterioles. Together with innervation of the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, a high density of the terminal adrenergic nervous plexus is revealed along the course of the nephron loops. Adrenergic nervous plexuses of high density are found in the area of the initial part of the urinary excretory pathways and their connection with nervous plexuses of the kidney itself.  相似文献

In the adult vertebrate intestine, multi-potent stem cells continuously generate all of the epithelial cells throughout the adulthood. While it has long been known that the frog intestine is formed via the development of adult intestinal stem cells during thyroid hormone (TH)-dependent metamorphosis, the basic structure of the adult intestine is formed by birth in mammals and it is unclear if the subsequent maturation of the intestine involves any changes in the intestinal stem cells. Two recent papers showing that B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp1) regulates postnatal epithelial stem cell reprogramming during mouse intestinal maturation support the model that adult intestinal stem cells are developed during postembryonic development in mammals, in a TH-dependent process similar to intestinal remodeling during amphibian metamorphosis. Since the formation of the adult intestine in both mammals and amphibians is closely associated with the adaptation from aquatic to terrestrial life during the peak of endogenous TH levels, the molecular mechanisms by which the adult stem cells are developed are likely evolutionally conserved.  相似文献

Schistosomiasis mansoni is a parasitic disease in which granulomas form around schistosome eggs in the liver and intestines. The purpose of this study was to determine the alterations in the intrinsic innervation of the distal ileum and proximal colon resulting from schistosomiasis. Using murine schistosomiasis mansoni, we examined light microscopic preparations stained with osmium-zinc iodide or the dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide: nitro BT oxidoreductase (NADH) method. We also examined specific populations of peptidergic nerves (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and substance P) using an avidin-biotin complex (ABC) immunohistochemical technique. We found that granulomas focally destroyed the enteric nerves. Occasionally nerves were found within granulomas, particularly at the periphery of the lesions. Nerve cell bodies close to granulomas had altered staining, which included increased staining for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. The distribution of nerve injury varied between the 2 enteric segments studied. In the distal ileum, the principal injury was to the myenteric plexus; whereas, the submucous and mucosal plexuses were predominantly damaged in the proximal colon. The physiologic significance of this injury to the enteric nerves requires elucidation.  相似文献

The superior and inferior venae cavae have been studied in 51 human being at various age, beginning from newborns using histochemical methods. After birth concentration of neural plexuses in the venae cavae increases up to the period of puberty, and then after 40years of age, certain rarefication of adrenergic and then cholinergic neural plexuses is noted. Choline- and adrenergic innervation is revealed in myocardial fibers penetrating the walls of the superior and inferior venae cavae.  相似文献

Choline- and adrenergic innervation of intracerebral branches of the middle and posterior cerebral arteries has been investigated histochemically and electron microscopically in slices, or after their preparation after W. Penfield. The vessels have been studied in the area of the fields 41, 17 of the cerebrum, trunk and spinal cord of the human being, cat and dog. When studying innervation of the intracerebral arteries (ICA), the preparation method has some advantages in comparison with investigation of these vessels in slices of the brain. Around most of the ICA from 200 up to 30 mcm in the diameter choline- and adrenergic nervous conductors are revealed. Using the method for calculating varicosities in nervous plexuses, it is demonstrated that degree of the ICA innervation is two times less than that in the arteries of similar caliber in the cerebral pia mater.  相似文献

The developmental pattern and distribution of peptide-containing neurons in the rat heart right atrium has been studied by indirect immunofluorescence. Antibodies against neuropeptide Y (NPY), substance P (SP), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were applied to whole-mount stretch preparations of the right atria from hearts of newborn to 40-day-old animals. NPY-like immunoreactivity (LI) was compared with the synaptic vesicle marker SV2 in double immunoincubation studies. The distribution of immunofluorescence was studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy. NPY-LI and SP-LI were present throughout the atria already at birth, in contrast to VIP-LI that was observed at day 10. The postnatal changes of innervation were basically quantitative, with an increase in density of nerve fibres and number of varicosities, while the basic pattern of innervation was essentially established during the first 1–10 days. NPY- and SP-positive bundles of fibres appeared to enter the right atrium along the superior caval vein, having extrinsic origins. Nerve fibres with NPY-LI colocalized in most nerve terminals with SV2-LI, and showed a developmental pattern similar to that observed for adrenergic neurons earlier. These NPY/SV2 positive fibres probably represent the extrinsic NPY innervation. In addition, NPY-LI was identified in large intrinsic nerve cells bodies located near the atrioventricular (AV) region. Most of the VIP-LI was observed in short nerve fibres originating in intrinsic VIP-positive cell bodies, but a few apparently extrinsic VIP-positive fibres were found, probably representing preganglionic parasympathetic neurons. SP in the atria was probably of extrinsic (sensory) origin and no nerve cell bodies with SP-LI were detected. The results show that the peptidergic innervation in the developing rat right atrium involves both extrinsic and intrinsic peptidergic neurons which may participate in the regulation of neurotransmission in local neuronal circuits.  相似文献

The arteries in the encephalon base have been investigated by Koelle's and Falck's methods in Teleostei (Anarhichas lupus, Eleginus navaga, Leuciscus brandti, Pelingas), amphibians (Rana temporaria, Rana semiplicata, Bufo bufo) and in reptiles (Testudo horsfieldi, Trionyx chinensis). Cholin- and adrenergic nerve fibres of the encephalic arteries have been revealed in all the vertebrates studied, but their concentration is far from being equal. In fishes and reptiles neural conductors from scarse plexus with wide loops. Concentration of effector neural fibres only in Bufo bufo exceeds that of fishes. In some cases, the arteries of frogs have equal or less density of cholin- and adrenergic neural conductors as compared with those of Pelingas. Certain individual peculiarities are noted in distribution of the effector neural fibres of the encephalic arteries of the vertebrates. In reptiles, the neural apparatus of the encephalic blood vessels reaches a considerable development; it is definitely differentiated into two plexuses - superficial and deep, having a close interconnection. The development of the effector vascular plexus in vertebrates corresponds to increasing mass of the brain and the vascular diameters. Taking into consideration structural peculiarities of the neural conductors and their concentration, it should be recognized that the role of the neural factor in regulation of the cerebral circulation increases in the following order: fishes - amphibians - reptiles.  相似文献

Adrenergic innervation of the human gall bladder was studied using two specific fluorescence histochemical methods. Blue-green fluorescing varicose nerves were scarce and mostly followed the course of blood vessels as typical perivascular plexuses. However, some adrenergic nerves not associated with the vessels were occasionally seen, as well as structures suggestive of a pericellular arrangement of varicose adrenergic nerve terminals on non-fluorescing ganglion cells. A few enterochromaffin cells were seen in the epithelial lining, also in the deep invaginations obviously representing the Aschoff-Rokitansky sinuses. Occasionally, small rounded cells with a rounded, relatively large nucleus, and exhibiting a weak yellow-green to blue-green granular cytoplasmic fluorescence, were observed in the wall of the gall bladder. The possible functional and evolutionary significance of these neural and endocrine elements was discussed against the data on physiological and pharmacological studies obtained from the literature. It was concluded that their significance is, in all probability, secondary to the influence of the intestinal polypeptide hormones, vagal innervation and circulating catecholamines upon the normal function of the gall bladder. The glyoxylic acid-induced fluorescence histochemical method was found to be superior to the conventional formaldehyde technique in studies on human tissue.  相似文献
