The aim of the present study is to analyse nerve fibres of the human small splanchnic nerve in relation to the ageing process. The analysis was conducted with the use of a new staining method that makes it possible to discriminate various structures of the nervous tissue. An image-analysing digitiser, a microscope with a drawing tube and a personal computer for storing data and performing statistical analyses were employed in this study. We examined 30 human small splanchnic nerves which were taken from cadaver specimens (20 males and 10 females) aged from 44 to 96 years. Our report may provide a first information concerning the ageing process of the human small splanchnic nerve. The results indicate that a decrease in transverse area and perimeter of myelinated axons in one of the important changes occurring in the human small splanchnic nerve with the ageing process.
