Distribution of sympathetic nerve endings within the rabbit carotid body: a histochemical and ultrastructural study

Abstract

The distribution of sympathetic (noradrenergic) nerves within the rabbit carotid body was investigated by fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy. With the Falck-Hillarp method, fluorescent nerve fibres were found associated with blood vessels and type I/type II cell groups. After the injection of 6-hydroxydopamine, degenerating nerve profiles were found near blood vessels, near type I/type II cell groups and in contact with type II cells. Following the administration of [3H]noradrenaline, labelled nerve profiles were observed in close association with blood vessels and around cell groups; a few labelled nerve profiles were observed in contact with type II cells. With a modified chromaffin method, chromaffin nerve profiles were found around blood vessels, around type I/type II cell groups and their sensory nerve supply and in contact with type II cells. It was shown that for about one-third of the chromaffin nerve profiles, the nearest structure (in the plane of section) was a type I/type II cell group. Furthermore, the mean distance between chromaffin nerve profiles and blood vessels and between chromaffin nerve profiles and type I/type II cell groups was about the same (2.2 microns and 2.7 microns respectively). These...Continue Reading
