Abstract
The morphological features of varicose corpuscles discovered along the course of the peripheral nerve fibers in man and animals in the final stages of ontogeny were studied. The properties of the varicose corpuscles were compared with those of reactive varicose deformities observed experimentally when the blood supply was disturbed. In view of the features of similarity between the varicose corpuscles and varicosities and the presence of intermediate forms, the former can be regarded as reactive structures. However, a considerable time and the participation of surrounding tissue were required for their formation.
