Summary
In rabbits, 2 populations of sympathetic postganlionic fibres innervating the skin, heart, muscle and kidney could be classified by their different spike heights and their different susceptibility to noradrenaline and angiotensin amide. The ability of the 2 populations to respond to physiological stimuli in a highly differentiated manner leads to the assumption that 2 different systems in the cardiovascular sympathetic outflow exist.
