An electron microscopic study on the autonomic innervation of the rabbit parotid gland. 1976

G D Bloom, and B Carlsöö, and H Gustafsson

As visualized in the electron microscope, the parotid gland of the rabbit has a dual innervation. Both adrenergic and cholinergic nerves are equally distributed in the parenchyma and often run together within the same nerve bundle. Nerve terminals are observed not only subjacent to the basement membrane but interposed between the latter and the acinar cells, where they establish a close membrane to membrane contact with the latter.

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
