Innervation of the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus

  • Conference paper
Peripheral Neuroendocrine Interaction

Abstract

Numerous investigators have drawn attention to the rich nerve supply of the blood vessels running in the renal cortex, using classic silver impregnation methods. In particular, they demonstrated the presence of a dense network of nonmyelinated nerve fibreswhich accompany the glomerular arterioles and pass occasionally between the neighbouring tubules (for literature, see Knoche, 1950, 1951; De Muylder, 1952).
