[Ganglionic cytoarchitecture of the esophagus in the cat and the rhesus monkey].
The comparative study of neuron distribution in the myenteric and submucous plexuses has granted an appraisal of the various neuron types in the oesophagus ganglia of cat and rhesus monkey. Neurons are classified in Dogiel types I and II, plus an intermediate one, the so-called "type III". From the functional point of view, the hypothesis is established that these types are, respectively: efferent, afferent and associative. A confirmation of this hypothesis requires the endorsement of the results of degeneration experiments and their integration with the roles of the rest of the structures which participate in the oesophagus innervation as a whole.
