Peripheral nerve fibres regenerate through myenteric plexus. 1987

P N Anderson, and M Turmaine

The ability of myenteric glia and neurons to support peripheral nerve regeneration was tested by grafting pieces of muscularis externa 5 mm long from the distal colon of inbred CBA mice adjacent to the proximal stump of cut common peroneal nerves. By two weeks after operation many axons had invaded the plexus and after 3 weeks regeneration common peroneal nerve fibres could be identified in all parts of the plexus throughout the grafts. Some axonal profiles within the plexus appeared to be in the early stages of myelination by enteric glia. Axons surrounded by compact myelin were found at the periphery of ganglia, but the cells involved resembled Schwann cells and could not be positively identified as enteric glia. Profiles similar to those of regenerating axons were only very rarely seen in control experiments in which grafts were placed adjacent to intact common peroneal nerves. It is suggested that the cellular elements of the myenteric plexus can support peripheral nerve regeneration.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009197 Myenteric Plexus One of two ganglionated neural networks which together form the ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut. Its neurons project to the circular muscle, to other myenteric ganglia, to submucosal ganglia, or directly to the epithelium, and play an important role in regulating and patterning gut motility.

D010525 Peripheral Nerves The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium.
