[Dynamics of morphologic changes in joint innervation during hypokinesia--a space flight model factor].
Using statistical treatment, a neuromorphological examination of the joint capsule of rats exposed to hypokinesia for 7, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 60 days was carried out. The exposure to 7 days caused an increase in the number of reactively changed nerve fibers and receptors. The exposure to 15 days resulted in a significant increase of the number of nerve fibers with destructive changes that involved mostly large-caliber fibers. However, 20- and, especially, 30-day hypokinesia was followed by a significant reduction of destructive changes. After 40- and 60-day exposure they again became very distinct. This suggested a wave-like pattern of structural changes. At every stage of experimental hypokinesia all the compartments of the joint nervous apparatus showed adaptive-compensatory reactions.
