title: [Histological picture of altered nerve cells of the sympathetic trunk of healthy and mature nutria (Myocastor coupus Mol.)].
abstract: Histological investigations were carried out on the sympathetic trunks of fourteen healthy, mature male and female coypu specimens of standard race, aged 8-24 months. The histological preparations impregnated using Bielschowski and Gross's method were prepared from front cervical, mid-cervical (central cervical), and pectoral-cervical ganglia as well as from pectoral, lumbar and sacral ganglia. An entire range of nerve cells displaying a certain type and degree of change was found in the above mentioned sympathetic ganglia. These cells are classified in the following order: cells with protoplasmic argyrophilia, cells with vacuole formations, with hyperplasia or hypertrophia of the processes, neuronophagic cells and degenerating cells.
