Mucosal receptors in the gastric antrum and small intestine of the rat with afferent fibres in the cervical vagus.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. Electrical stimulation of the abdominal vagi revealed that abdominal vagal fibres are distributed throughout the cervical vagal trunk. Conduction velocities of the main group of abdominal fibres ranged from 0-4 to 1-5 m . sec-'.2. Thirty-seven single afferent fibres, with endings in the gastric and intestinal mucosa, were isolated from the cervical vagus of adult rats. Conduction velocities of eighteen of these endings ranged from 0-5 to 2-5 m . sec-.3. Light mechanical stimulation, such as stroking … Show more

“…Bile-pancreatic juice protein was measured spectrophoto-metrically using the assay method of Bradford (1976). It was confirmed in our previous study (Louie, May, Miller & Owyang, 1986) (Clarke & Davison, 1978;Mei, 1985 To investigate the role of the vagus, acute vagotomy was performed. Through a mid-line incision of the abdominal wall, the stomach was carefully manipulated to expose the oesophagus.…”

“…Many of these fibres are also sensitive to luminal osmotic, pH and chemical stimuli. [49][50][51] Morphologically, several types of vagal mucosal endings have been distinguished. In the small intestine there are endings that project along the length of the villi, ramifying beneath the epithelial layer 52 .…”

“…in the oesophagus (Andrew, 1957;Mei, 1965Mei, , 1970bClarke & Davison, 1975), the stomach (Paintal, 1954;Iggo, 1955Iggo, , 1957aLeek, 1969; Mei, 1970b;Harding & Leek, 1972a;Andrews, Grundy & Scratcherd, 1980;in particular), the small intestine (Paintal, 1957;Iggo, 1957 b;Davison, 1972; Mei, 1970b;Ranieri, Mei & Crousillat, 1973;Morrison, 1973;Floyd, Hick & Morrison, 1976;Clarke & Davison, 1978) and the colon (Mei, 1970a, b;Clifton, Coggeshall, Vance & Willis, 1976). Some of these receptors are located in the muscular layers and are sensitive to normal distensions or contractions affecting the viscera.…”
