Abstract
In extension of Dogiel''s neuron-typification, a 4th neuron-population (type IV-cells) of the nervous system of the intestinal wall was demonstrated. The elements of this population were characterized. They are polar (up to radiate) multidendritic uniaxonal neurons with extremely marginal nuclei. The type IV-neurons are organized in modified topographic aggregates related to the communicating branches between the myenteric plexus (Auerbach) and the external submucous plexus (Schabadasch). The dendrites of type IV-cells run through the communicating branches to the Schabadasch plexus, thus forming types-specific vertical routes within the nervous system of the intestinal wall. The morphological findings are discussed in relation to the most recent electrophysiological, immunohistochemical and autoradiographic results.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
