Abstract
In the Ham-Wistar rat, a paraganglion was found within the vagus nerve at the site of branching of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Due to its location the name "paraganglion supracardiale vagi" is suggested. Fluorescence microscopy of the paragangkionic cells displays an intense yellow-green fluorescence indicating the presence of biogenic amines. Ultrastructurally, chief cells containing dense-core vesicles form three kinds of synaptic contacts (afferent, efferent and reciprocal) with enlarged. mitochondria-rich nerve endings.Entities:
