[Nerve receptors in pulmonary vessels].

Abstract

In this work the morphological types of the nervous receptors in the pulmonary vessels of the Wistar rat are studied with the Koelle-Friedenwall, Champy-Maillet and Jabonero techniques. Different types of corpuscules are described. Some are simple and some are more complex (tree-like terminals of Seto type). The localization of these corpuscules is variable. Sometimes they are located in the pulmonary vessels and sometimes in the conjunctive tissue. These receptors are interpreted as baro-receptors i.e. receptors of change of pressure.
