Abstract:
The intrinsic cardiac ganglion neurons were studied with immunohistochemical PAP technique for localization of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in this paper. The result showed that there are many CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers and a few CGRP immunoreactive neurons within the atrial wall. This fact suggest that CGRP immunoreactive fibere in the heart originate not only from extrinsic cardiac ganglia, but also from intrinsic cardiac ganglia. It is well known that CGRP is closely related to sensory function, and therefore, these CGRP immunoreactive neurons probably be sensory in nature. This result provide some new morphological evidences for identifing the intrinsic cardiac reflex pathway.
