title: Histochemical evidence for a cervical plexus contribution to the cat mandibular dentition.
abstract: The accessory innervation of the mandibular dentition was examined by use of the retrograde transportation of horseradish peroxidase or wheat-germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase. Nerves within the cervical plexus which contained transported horseradish peroxidase included the great auricular and transverse cervical. Examination of the upper cervical dorsal-root ganglia revealed occasional labelled cells within cervical levels C1, C2, and C3 in approx. 55.6% of the cases.
