Growth cones in the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion in human foetus aged 23 weeks.

چکیده
Ultrastructural study was conducted on the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia in human foetus aged 23 weeks. It was shown that in investigated foetus the nerve fibres in the ganglion were in different phases of myelination. Also growth cones, which present evidence of still growing fibres, were observed.

Stereological Study on the Neurons of Superior Cervical Sympathetic Ganglion in Diabetic Rats
Background: Most research on autonomic dysfunction of diabetes mellitus is conducted on ganglions innervating gastrointestinal (GI) tract and there are limited works focusing on cervical sympathetic ganglia. The effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the neurons of superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (SCSG) are investigated by stereological methods. Material and Methods: Female rats (n=72) ran...
متن کاملMacrostructure of the Cranial Cervical Ganglion in the River Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis)
The autonomic nervous system consists of a vast range of nerves and ganglions. Anatomical studies have demonstrated that the sympathetic innervations of the head and neck are affected by the neurons that ramify from the cranial cervical ganglion (CCG). The CCG is the end of the sympathetic cervical trunk, which runs with the vagal nerve during its cervical course. In this study sixteen adult (2...
متن کاملNerve growth factor regulates sympathetic ganglion cell morphology and survival in the adult mouse.
We have investigated the effects of prolonged systemic injections of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its antiserum on the survival and morphology of sympathetic ganglion cells in adult mice. Using intracellular injections of Lucifer yellow in lightly fixed superior cervical ganglia, we show that total dendritic lengths of ganglion cells are increased 29% after 2 weeks of NGF treatment. The increa...
متن کاملFormation of synapses on the growth cones in human embryonic inferior ganglion of the vagus.
Ultrastructural study was performed on inferior ganglia of the vagus in human embryos aged 7and 8 weeks (developmental stages 18 to 23, 44 to 56 days). The growth cones are observed between the bundles of axons of the inferior ganglia of the vagus. Many primitive synapses (protosynapses) between dendritic and axonal growth cones are observed.
متن کاملElectrical activity increases growth cone calcium but fails to inhibit neurite outgrowth from rat sympathetic neurons.
Previous studies have shown that the growth of axons from both mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons and Helisoma neurons is arrested when the cells are electrically stimulated (Cohan and Kater, 1986; Fields et al., 1990a). Furthermore, in the case of Helisoma neurons, this arrest has been attributed to a rise in the calcium concentration in the growth cones (Cohan et al., 1987). To test the gener...
