Abstract
Capillaries in the cat hypothalamus receive axon terminals which are comparable to neurovascular junctions in cerebral and systemic arteries and arterioles. The innervation of capillaries in the central nervous system may be derived from central neurons, in contrast to cerebral arterial vessels, which are supplied by the peripheral autonomic nervous system.Keywords
