[Ratio of adrenergic and cholinergic structures in the prevertebral sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia].
Histochemical techniques for catecholamines and acetylcholinesterase revealed the ratio of adrenergic and cholinergic neurons in sympathetic (celiac and inferior mesenteric) and parasympathetic (pelvic) plexuses of the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Three types of ganglia were revealed in the pelvic plexus, i.e. cholinergic, adrenergic, and of mixed type. Adrenergic fibers were found in preganglionic nerves both to sympathetic and parasympathetic plexuses. A centripetal transport of catecholamines through axons of adrenergic neurons located in extramural ganglia, was shown.
