[Representation of skeletal muscles in the spinal ganglia of the cat].
In 5 experimental and 3 control cats the m. extensor digitorum longus (MEDL) has been extirpated in both extremities. In 10 days the cats are sacrificed with a lethal dose of pentobarbital. In the spinal ganglia, which are supposed to innervate the MEDL, the state of chromatophilic substance is investigated. The amount of neurons with chromatolysis is determined. A new source of the MEDL sensitive innervation--ganglion SIII is revealed. Certain asymmetry in the MEDL ganglia innervation is noted in the left and right sides.
