Abstract:
The segmental distribution of sensory and motor neurons in Neiguan (内关P6) acupoint areas was studied respectively in 8 rabbits with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. The labeled neurons were found in C5-T1 segments of the spinal ganglia and in C7-T1 segments of the spinal cords (injected sides). Most labeled neurons were found concentrated in C8 and T1 of the spinal ganglia, and principally located in the circumferental areas of the spinal ganglia (47.27%). In spinal cord, the labeled neurons were located in the lateral areas of the ventral horns and the juncture of it and the lateral horns (Ⅷ-Ⅸlayers). In addition, the relation of the relative specifity of acupoints to the distributional segments of the neurons and its concentration was discussed.
