[Age and changes in the nerve supply of the superior and inferior venae cavae in man].
The superior and inferior venae cavae have been studied in 51 human being at various age, beginning from newborns using histochemical methods. After birth concentration of neural plexuses in the venae cavae increases up to the period of puberty, and then after 40years of age, certain rarefication of adrenergic and then cholinergic neural plexuses is noted. Choline- and adrenergic innervation is revealed in myocardial fibers penetrating the walls of the superior and inferior venae cavae.
