SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE NERVOUS STRUCTURES, THE ISLETS OF LANGERHANS AND BLOOD VESSELS IN THE RAT PANCREAS
In rat pancreas was found three neurovascular plexus: the first - there is on the surface (of the major nerves and blood vessels); the second is made up of small and medium arteries and veins and thin non-fleshy fibers; third - synaptic terminal plexus, which contacts the smooth muscle cells of the vessel walls. Varicose axons (sinapses en passant) were in glial strands. PGP 9.5+, Syn+ and TH+ fibers (postganglionic cholinergic efferent, type C-afferent nociceptive and sympathetic postganglionic catecholamine), were identified in the terminal plexus.
