title: Ureteric ganglia in the guinea pig.
abstract: We studied the ureter of guinea pigs to ascertain whether there are ganglia and ganglion neurons directly associated with this structure. We consistently observed ureteric ganglia and individual neurons in the adventitia of the ureter or very close to it. There were on average 87 neurons per ureter, and they were scattered over the entire length of the tube.
