A Histochemical Study of the Adrenergic and Cholinergic Innervation of the Anterior Segment of the Rabbit Eye.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The innervation of the anterior segment of the albino rabbit eye was studied with both the histofluorometric technique of Falck for adrenergic fibers and the thiocholine method for cholinergic fibers. Adrenergic fibers were found in heavy concentration in the iris dilator, ciliary processes, and around blood vessels. In lesser number adrenergic fibers were seen in the cornea and filtration area. Very few fibers were seen in ciliary muscle and iris sphincter. Heavy staining for fibers containing acetylcholinesterase toas seen in the iris sphincter, ciliary body, and surrounding blood vessels. The iris dilator, filtration area, and cornea also shoived moderate staining.

Effect of nitric oxide modulation on the basic and rate-dependent electrophysiological properties of AV-node in the isolated heart of rabbit: The role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors
Introduction: Recent studies showed that nitrergic system have specific modulatory effects on electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular (AV) node. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the electrophysiological properties of isolated rabbit AV node and to investigate the role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors in the mechanism of its action...

متن کاملAdrenergic fibres in the human intestine.
The application of histochemical methods specific for acetylcholinesterase (Koelle, 1955) and for catecholamines (Falck, 1962; Falck and Owman, 1965) to the study of intestinal innervation has provided a clearer understanding of cholinergic and adrenergic function in this tissue. Thus, it was shown (Donhoffer, 1959) that the ganglion cells of the intestinal plexuses which give rise to postgangl...
متن کاملPresence of prejunctional D2-dopaminoceptors and α2-adrenoceptors on the cholinergic nerve of the common bile duct of guinea pig
On most adrenergic and cholinergic nerve terminals, prejunctional α-adrenoceptors belonging to the α2-subtype have been identified. Activation of these receptors will decrease the release of norepinephrine. It has been reported that several isolated tissue preparations contain prejunctional dopamine receptors, the stimulation of which inhibits neurotransmission. It has remained uncertain whethe...
