Abstract:
Ten adult rabbits (7 and ♀3; body weights 1.5~2 kg) were selected for thee present study. A solution of 2~10% HRP (RZ=2.9) was injected into the subserosa of the caecum in seven rabbits and a solution of 5~10% HRP into the deep peroneal nerve of Tsusanli (足三里) region in the other three. The uptake and retrograds transmission of HRP in the afferent fibres of both the somatic and visceral nerves were traced to the spinal ganglia. The range of segments where the neurons from which these two afferent fibres originate overlap each other. The results are a follows:1. Labelled sensory neurons from the region of the caecum where HRP was injected are observed in the spinal ganglia C_8~S_3 with a higher concentration in T_(11)~L_2.2. Labelled neurons from the region of Tsusanli are found in the spinal ganglia L_1~S_3 with a higher concentration in L_6~S_2.3. The ranges of distribution of labelled neurons from the two groups of afferent fibres overlap in the segments L_1~S_3.4. Most of the labelled cells are small and medium in size and the Iabelled cells are found more concentrated in the lumbosacral segments.
