The adrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the chicken vas deferens
The morphological characteristics of adrenergic and cholinergic innervation are
described in the vas deferens of the domestic fowl. Adrenergic innervation was
much better developed than the cholinergic. Both types of nerve fibre were
found in the muscular membrane, submucosal membrane and in the mucosa.
The largest number of adrenergic nerve fibres was observed in the muscular
membrane. These were less numerous in the submucosa, mucosa and in the
wall of small blood vessels. The largest number of cholinergic nerve fibres was
noted under the mucosa. Single cholinergic nerve fibres were seen to penetrate
between the epithelial cells
