[Projection of the celiac plexus to the afferent centers demonstrated by the horseradish peroxidase retrograde transport method]. / Proektsii chrevnogo spleteniia na afferentnye tsentry, ustano- vlennye metodom retrogradnogo transporta peroksidazy khrena.

Using the horseradish peroxidase (HP) retrograde method for ascertaining connections of the celiac plexus of the white rat with various afferent centers, HP-marked neurocytes have been revealed in caudal nodes of the vagus nerves and in spinal nodes at the Th4-L2 level. Negative results have been obtained at investigation of the cervical spinal nodes and intramural nodes in the cat ileocecal part. Similar data are obtained, when connections of the celiac plexus with the same area of the cat gut are investigated. Therefore, the problem on interrelations of the celiac plexus with the proper afferent centers of the diaphragmatic+ nerve and the second type cells of Dogel in the cat intramural ganglia is still disputable.
