Neurohistological observations on the kidney ofiRattus rattus rufescens/i(Indian black rat) as revealed by cholinesterase technique

摘要

The intrinsic innervation of the kidney in Rattus rattus rufescens (Indian black rat) has been studied by cholinesterase technique, under various temperatures, incubation periods and different pH values. The percentage of myelinated nerves was rather high in the medulla region, whereas the non-myelinated nerves dominated in association with the uriniferous tubules and their branches, glomerulus and renal vein in the cortex region. Periarterial AChE-positive ganglia were recorded in the medulla region. The perivenous and periglomerulus plexuses were formed by the non-myelinated nerves and their branches.
