“…The extrahepatic biliary tract has long been known to possess an intrinsic ganglionated nervous plexus in its wall, which has been well described recently by Burnett, Gairns & Bacsich (1964). We had expected A. P. WYATT 240 SPHINCTER OF ODDI that a physiological reflex would be conducted by this route, but we were unable to demonstrate this as the reflex was still obtainable after division of the duct at its lower end.…”

“…The exact origin of these fibres is not known, but they are believed to issue from sympathetic ganglia of the prevertebral group [Kuntz, 1946;Burnett et al, 1964;Kyosola, 1976]; however, a contribution from the paravertebral ganglia is not ruled out.…”

A population of catecholamine-containing cells, broadly belonging to the class of small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells, was observed in the ganglionated plexus and around blood vessels of the guinea pig gallbladder. Their morphological features were studied by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Some cells were closely associated with ganglion neurons within the ganglionated plexus. Others were clustered into small groups located along blood vessels. Counts carried out on the whole gallbladder showed that these cells varied greatly in number between individuals and that they were most numerous shortly after birth (on average 230 cells). In the adult, their average number was about 30.
