[Nerve fibers and nerve endings in the choroid plexus--electron microscopic study (author's transl)]. 1978

S Nakamura, and N Moriyasu

Nerve fibers and nerve endings in the fourth ventricle choroid plexus of the adult rat were studies with the electron microscope. Nerve endings were found at two sites within the plexus : 1) on the vascular wall (i. e., vascular nerve endings), and 2) in the stroma between the choroidal epithelium and the fibrovascular core (i. e., stromal nerve endings). Ultrastructurally all fibers were of the efferent type, and the majority were unmyelinated. No ganglion cell bodies were identified. Fibers ending in relation to the smooth muscle of the vessels presumably control the calibre of these vascular channels. Although the role of the stromal nerve endings is as yet unknown, these fibers may influence epithelial cell functions and thus indirectly regulate choroidal cerebrospinal fluid production.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009411 Nerve Endings Branch-like terminations of NERVE FIBERS, sensory or motor NEURONS. Endings of sensory neurons are the beginnings of afferent pathway to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Endings of motor neurons are the terminals of axons at the muscle cells. Nerve endings which release neurotransmitters are called PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS. Ending, Nerve,Endings, Nerve,Nerve Ending
D009412 Nerve Fibers Slender processes of NEURONS, including the AXONS and their glial envelopes (MYELIN SHEATH). Nerve fibers conduct nerve impulses to and from the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Cerebellar Mossy Fibers,Mossy Fibers, Cerebellar,Cerebellar Mossy Fiber,Mossy Fiber, Cerebellar,Nerve Fiber
D002831 Choroid Plexus A villous structure of tangled masses of BLOOD VESSELS contained within the third, lateral, and fourth ventricles of the BRAIN. It regulates part of the production and composition of CEREBROSPINAL FLUID. Chorioid Plexus,Plexus Choroideus,Choroideus, Plexus,Plexus, Chorioid,Plexus, Choroid
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
