Morphological examination of the proximal ganglion of the vagus nerve in the pig.
This is the first report dealing with the localisation and morphology of the proximal (jugular) ganglion in the pig. Six 3-months-old pigs of both sexes were used in this study. Tissues were stained with three histological methods: Klüver-Barer counterstained with Cresyl violet, Haematoxylin-eosin and Mayer's haematoxylin. The localisation and morphological features of the ganglion and ganglionic neurones were described and discussed.
