A study on the bronchial innvervation of the male Perdicula asiatica (Uungle Bush quail) by cholinesterase technique.
Ganglia of various shapes (rounded and oval) and sizes (large, medium and smaller) either arranged in chain like fashion or in free form, lying on the wall of the bronchi and their branches, were recorded. The preganglionic and postganglionic nerve fibres formed the meshwork on the bronchi. The postganglionic fibres of the bronchial ganglia and the fibres of the peribronchial plexus, were either connected with the fibres of the plexus on air cavities or with the myelinated fibres of the plexus of muscles in the intraparenchyma. Groups of AChE-positive nerve cells were recorded in the lung lobule.
