title: [The correlation of central projection of the acupoints riyue, qimen with correlative viscera, in the rabbit].
abstract: Twenty two rabbits were selected for the experiment and were divided into three groups. CT-HRP or CB-HRP was injected respectively into the ampulla wall (group 1) or acupoint area Riyue (group 2) or Qimen (group 3). The results obtained are as follows: Group 1. The labelled cells appeared in the spinal ganglia from T3 to T11 on the left side and T2 to T10 on the right side, and a lot appeared in the nodose ganglion of the vagus nerve on both sides. The transganglionic labeled terminals were found in the region of the solitary nucleus on both sides. A lot of labelled cells appeared in the celiae ganglia on both sides, a few dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve on both sides. Group 2. The labelled cells appeared in the spinal ganglia from T4 to T10 and C6 to C8 on the same side, the anterior horn of the spinal cord from T5 to T10 segments on the same side, and a lot appeared in the ganglia of the sympathetic trunk from T3 to T10 on the same side. Group 3. The labelled cells appeared in the spinal ganglia from T4 to T8 on the same side, the anterior horn of the spinal cord from T5 to T7 segments on the same side, and a lot appeared in the ganglia of the sympathetic trunk from T4 to T8 on the same side. The results of experiment shows: 1. There are 5-7 overlapping segments of sensory nerve projection between Riyue, Qimen acupoint area and ductus choledochus ampulla.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
