[The ultrastructure of the endings of nerve fibers of ordinary hairs of mammals under normal conditions and during degeneration and regeneration]. 1979

D Kadanoff, and H Seguchi, and W Villiger

At ultrastructural level, three zones are distinguished of the palisade endings of nerve fibers, most of them in contact with the basement membrane of the outer epithelial sheath of the radix pili on rat muzzle. After division of the supplying nerve (n. infraorbitalis) in test animals of the same species, its nerve fibers and palisade endings undergo degeneration, followed by regeneration within 4-5 months. Changes in the ultrastructure of the mentioned nerve elements are thoroughly studied and demonstrated in the course of the two processes. While within 6...12 days of the operation, the palisade endings degenerate, 130 days after the intervention most of them are restored and exhibit an appreciable difference relative to their typical ultrastructure in normal state. The Schwann's cells processes, enveloping degenerated and regenerated palisade endings, similarly display marked fine-structure alterations.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D009410 Nerve Degeneration Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.
