    Notes: Summary The anatomy and the adrenergic innervation of the rectum, internal anal sphincter and of accessory structures are described for the guinea-pig. The distribution of adrenergic nerves was examined using the fluorescence histochemical technique applied to both sections and whole mount preparations. The longitudinal and circular muscle of the rectum and the muscularis mucosae are all supplied by adrenergic nerve terminals. The density of the adrenergic innervation of the muscularis externa increases towards the anal sphincter. There is a very dense innervation of the internal anal sphincter, of the anal accessory muscles and of the corrugator ani. Non-fluorescent neurons in the ganglia of the myenteric plexus are supplied by adrenergic terminals. The ganglia become smaller and sparser towards the internal anal sphincter and non-ganglionated nerve strands containing adrenergic axons run from the plexus to the sphincter muscle. Adrenergic fibers innervate two interconnected ganglionated plexuses in the submucosa. Very few adrenergic nerve cells were found in the myenteric plexus and they were not found at all in the submucosa. The extrinsic arteries and veins of the pelvic region are heavily innervated by adrenergic nerves. Within the gut wall the arteries are densely innervated but there is little or no innervation of the veins.

    Notes: Summary The adrenergic innervation of the pelvic viscera was examined by the fluorescence histochemical technique, applied to tissue from untreated guinea-pigs and from guinea-pigs in which nerve pathways had been interrupted at operation. It was found that adrenergic neurons in the inferior mesenteric ganglia give rise to axons which run in the colonic nerves and end in the myenteric and submucous plexuses and around the arteries of the distal colon. In the rectum, part of the innervation of the myenteric plexus and all of the innervation of the submucous plexus comes from the inferior mesenteric ganglia. The rest of the adrenergic innervation of the myenteric plexus comes from the posterior pelvic ganglia or the sacral sympathetic chains. The innervation of the blood vessels of the rectum is from the posterior pelvic ganglia. Adrenergic nerves run from the sacral sympathetic chains and pass via nerves accompanying the rectal arteries to the internal anal sphincter. Other adrenergic fibres to the internal anal sphincter either arise in, or pass through, the posterior pelvic plexuses. The anal accessory muscle is innervated by adrenergic axons arising in the posterior pelvic plexuses. Adrenergic nerves which run in the pudendal nerves, probably from the sacral sympathetic chains, innervate the erectile tissue of the penis.

    Notes: Summary The organs of the lower abdominal and pelvic regions of the guinea-pig receive nerves from the inferior mesenteric ganglia and pelvic plexuses. The inferior mesenteric ganglia connect with the sympathetic chains, the superior mesenteric ganglia, the pelvic plexuses via the hypogastric nerves, and with the gut. Each pelvic plexus consists of anterior and posterior parts which send filaments to the internal generative organs and to the rectum, internal anal sphincter and other pelvic organs. The pelvic nerves enter the posterior plexuses, which also receive rami from the sacral sympathetic chains. The adrenergic neurons of the pelvic plexuses are monopolar, do not have dendrites and are supplied by few varicose adrenergic axons. Nearly all the nerves contain adrenergic fibres. After exposure to formaldehyde vapour the chromaffin cells appear brightly fluorescent with one or two long, often varicose, processes. Most of the chromaffin cells are in Zuckerkandl's organ or in chromaffin bodies associated with the inferior mesenteric ganglia. Groups of chromaffin cells are found along the hypogastric nerves and in the pelvic plexuses; they become smaller and fewer as regions more posterior to Zuckerkandl's organ are approached.

    Notes: Summary The localisation of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was examined in lamina preparations of the myenteric plexus of guinea-pig stomach, small intestine and proximal colon and in the submucous plexus of the small intestine. MAO is associated with most neurones in these parts of the enteric plexuses. In the myenteric plexus of the small intestine, cells corresponding to Dogiel's type II were prominent whereas type I cells appeared less reactive for MAO. However, both type I and type II cells of the proximal colon were heavily stained. In the stomach and in the submucous plexus of the small intestine, most positive cells were type II. There were many small positively stained cells throughout the myenteric plexus. Interstitial cells were lightly stained. The intensity of stain in many enteric neurones was similar to that of cells of the sympathetic ganglia.

    Notes: Summary Previous fluorescence histochemical studies have shown that extrinsic denervation causes a disappearance of adrenergic fibres from the gut wall. However, in the present work, adrenergic terminals persisted in the myenteric plexus of the guinea-pig proximal colon following interruption of paravascular nerves. Fluorescent cell bodies are found in the myenteric plexus. The fluorescence reaction of the cells does not appear after reserpine treatment and is restored by α-methyl-noradrenaline.

    Notes: Synopsis A method for the demonstration of adrenergic nerves and enteric neurons at the same time has been developed by combining the fluorescence histochemical technique for catecholamines and the histochemical technique for NADH:Nitro BT oxidoreductase. The method consists of a short incubation of the laminae from the wall of the intestine in an isotonic medium containing the substrate (NADH) and a tetrazolium salt (Nitro BT). After washing, the laminae are air dried, exposed to formaldehyde vapour and mounted. The adrenergic nerves in the myenteric plexus appear brightly fluorescent on excitation with u.v. light, whereas the neurons are heavily stained by deposits of formazan. Not all the neurons of the plexus are stained, but their morphology is well preserved. Differences in staining of the neurons reflect differences in penetration of the tetrazolium salt in the tissue and into the cells. The adrenergic axons do not establish exclusive connexions with individual neurons and some isolated neurons are not associated with any adrenergic fibres.

    Notes: Summary The fluorescence histochemical method has been used to examine the adrenergic innervation of the proximal colon of the guinea-pig. Previous investigations have shown that the adrenergic fibres of the gastrointestinal tract arise from extrinsic ganglia. However, in this work it is shown that adrenergic nerve cells are found in the myenteric plexus of the proximal colon and that these cells provide varicose terminals about ganglion cells in the nodes of the plexus. About 75% of the nodes of the myenteric plexus in the proximal colon contain adrenergic cells. A few cells are also observed along the internodal strands. The cells have a cytoplasmic fluorescence, which is of different intensity in different cells, but there is no fluorescence of the nucleus. Processes can be traced from most cells and in some cases these are seen to become varicose. Interruption of extrinsic nerve pathways to the intestine causes a disappearance of the fluorescence reaction of the adrenergic terminals in the ileum, most of the distal colon and in the submucosal and perivascular plexuses of the proximal colon. In contrast, about 60% of the adrenergic terminals in the myenteric plexus of the proximal colon survive extrinsic denervation. From cell counts, it is estimated there are about 10000 adrenergic cells in the proximal colon.

    Notes: Summary In the present work, the effects of drugs on the storage, uptake and synthesis of catecholamines in intrinsic and extrinsic adrenergic neurones of the guinea-pig intestine are compared, using the fluorescence histochemical technique for localising catecholamines. In respect to the properties examined in this work, the intrinsic adrenergic neurones of the proximal colon of the guinea-pig were found to be qualitatively similar to adrenergic neurones of the sympathetic chains: the intrinsic cells and their terminals are depleted by reserpine or guanethidine; they concentrate and retain catecholamines and this uptake is blocked by desmethylimipramine or phenoxybenzamine; after depletion by reserpine, the fluorescence can be restored by the dopamine and noradrenaline precursor, dopa and this restoration is prevented by blocking the decarboxylation of dopa to dopamine. However, there are clear quantitative differences: the terminals of intrinsic neurones are less susceptible than are extrinsic neurones to depletion by reserpine, guanethidine or 6-hydroxydopamine; the intrinsic neurones more readily retain noradrenaline after reserpinisation. It is suggested that quantitative differences between extrinsic and intrinsic neurones of the intestine could involve a difference in the activity of monoamine oxidase.

    Notes: Summary The adrenergic innervation of the subdiaphragmatic digestive tract of the rabbit, the rat and the guinea-pig, has been studied by means of the histochemical technique of Falck and Hillarp. Auerbach's and Meissner's plexuses are richly supplied by adrenergic fibres both in the ganglia and in the connecting tracts. The distribution of adrenergic fibres appears fairly uniform within the myenteric ganglia of the different subdivisions. No adrenergic intramural neurons are found except in Auerbach's plexus of the proximal colon of the guinea-pig where particularly tightly packed clusters of pericellular baskets are also found. Adrenergic fibres are present within the circular muscle layer of all regions, and in the taeniae of the caecum of the guinea-pig. In the cardiac and the anal sphincters there is an exceedingly dense innervation of longitudinal and circular muscle. The glands of the mucous coat in the different parts of the gut are richly supplied by adrenergic nerves. There is a dense innervation of intestinal arteries. It is suggested that postganglionic adrenergic axons have a direct action on the muscle and that they indirectly affect the muscle by an action on intramural ganglia.
