Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution of intramuscular nerves in the different skeletal muscles of the rabbit. Methods Muscle architecture and modified sihler's neural staining methods were used. Results The nerve branches of innervating flat M.pectoralis major arose from the anterior pectoral and posterior pectoral nerve.The former innervated cross fibers mainly,it penetrated the middle of muscle belly and formed a “U-Shaped” nerve ansa.The latter innervated oblique fibers mainly.There were many anastomoses between them.The nerve of pennate M.plantaris derived from tibial nerve.After entering muscle,the nerve trunk gradually divided into many primary branches toward medial and lateral fibers,these branches then subdivided into numerous arboroid second and terminal branches toward all of muscle fibres;The nerve of innervating spindle M.extensor digitorum longus came from N.fibularis communis.Two extramuscular nerve trunk were seen.Superior trunk mainly innervated those muscle fibers of inserting in the second toe,Inferior one mainly distributed to the fibers of rest within this muscle.Conclusion The spatial arrangement of the muscle fibres were related to distribution of the intramuscular nerves;Walking of intramuscular nerve branches had two patterns which run perpendicular and/or parallel to muscle fasciculi.
