AChE-positive innervation of the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra in pigs.
Histochemical method of KARNOWSKY and ROOTS (1964) was used to discover the AChE-positive nerves. These nerve fibres were found in all layers of all organs under study. The ureter was weakly innervated, while the urinary bladder and the urethra possessed strong AChE-positive innervation. AChE-positive fibres were most abundant in the bladder trigone. Muscular membrane was the best supplied layer, both in the urinary bladder and in the urethra. Part of AChE-positive nerves was connected with the blood vessels in all organs under discussion.
