A Parasympathetic Ganglio Innervating the Harderian Gland and Lacrimal Gland of the Musk Shrew (Suncus murinus): Fluorescent Tracing and Immunohistochemical studies

摘要

A small ganglion, named the peri-trigeminal ganglion (PTG), was found in the ventromedial border of the rostral half of the trigminal ganglion (TG) in the musk shrew (Suncus murinus). In frontal sections, the PTG was semicircular or elliptical in shape. Most of the neurons constituting this ganglion were round in shape and much smaller than those of the TG.
