title: Histochemical localization of adrenergic nerves in the guinea-pig trachea.
abstract: 1. Specific catecholamine fluorescence was demonstrated in guinea-pig trachea in fine, varicose, nerve fibres running parallel to the tracheal smooth muscle fibres.2. The density of nerves in tracheal smooth muscle was greater at the laryngeal end than at the bronchial end of the trachea.3. The findings confirm pharmacological evidence for an adrenergic innervation of the guinea-pig isolated tracheal chain preparation.
