[The cholinergic and adrenergic innervation of the great cerebral vein]. 1990

L D Markina, and I V Poboronchuk, and A N Genaĭlo

Comparative histochemical study of the nervous apparatus of the large cerebral vein system (Galen's vein) and its influxes--the interior cerebral veins and the veins of the cerebral basis, was performed in cats, rats, guinea-pigs, and humans. Deep cerebral veins were found to be rather well supplied with cholin- and adrenergic nerves. Paravasal, surface and deep adventitious plexuses are a single nervous formation having unequal structure on different depth of the vessel wall. No difference was found between the concentration of cholin- and adrenergic nerves in the wall of the large cerebral vein and its influxes in rats, cats and guinea-pigs. The density of the nervous plexus on 1 mm2 of the total preparation of the large cerebral vein wall and its influxes increases in the row: rat--guinea-pig--cat--humans.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
