Über neue elektronenmikroskopische Befunde zur peripheren vegetativen Synapse am mesenterialen Lymphgefäss vom Meerschweinchen (Cavia porcellus)

Summary

Electron microscopic investigations of innervation of the mesenteric lymphatic vessels ofCavia porcellus demonstrate that, besides membrane contacts between Axon and smooth muscle cell, a local direct plasmatic connection from the nature of synapses between the nerve and the effector cell have to be considered. From this study it has been concluded that also this neuromuscular junction is a transitoric structure and not a static connection comparable to the synapses in the motor end-plate of the striated muscle.
