Abstract
Autonomic innervation of the tongue was investigated in cats using the horseradish peroxidase retrograde tracing method. The tongue was found to be innervated by sympathetic fibers originating in the ipsilateral superior cervical ganglion, but not by those originating in the middle cervical ganglion or stellate ganglion. The tongue was also innervated by fibers originating in the ipsilateral pterygopalatine ganglion, suggesting that this innervation is parasympathetic.Entities:
