In anesthetized cats, activating effects of the bulbar ventro-lateral surface (BVLS) upon the spinal sympathetic neurons were shown to be transmitted via output sympathoactivating neurons (OSN) with descending axons. Antidromic discharge of these neurons elicited by stimulation of the spinal dorso-lateral funiculus were found in the intermediate zone of the BVLS at the depth of about 400-2000 mu. Stimuli applied to different regions of the BVLS activate at least two groups of surface fibers (conducting velocities 6.7-8.0 and 2-3.2 m/sec) which in their turn activate OSN with a delay of about 20 msec. The mechanism of the delay formation seems to be concentrated in the intermediate zone and formed, probably, by a chain of interneurons. A possible scheme of neuronal organization of the sympathoactivating BVLS structure is discussed.

The aim of this study was to describe the morphology of the tongue of the okapi, and to compare the results with other ruminants including browsers, intermediates and grazers. The material was collected post-mortem from two animals from a Zoological Garden. The structure of the okapi tongue, focusing of the shape of the tongue, lingual surface, its papillae and lingual glands, was examined using gross morphology, light and polarized microscopy, and by scanning electron microscopy.

In this investigation the morphological and morphometrical features of the optic tectum in post-hatch broiler chicken were studied macroscopically and microscopically. The present study was conducted on 70 day old broiler chicks which were reared up to 42 days. The whole experimental period of study was divided into seven groups (from group I to VII) at weekly interval (days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42).

This study was conducted to examine the light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) structures of mechanical papillae on the tongue in the Angora goat (Capra hircus). As study materials, the tongues of four adult female Angora goats were used. The samples were collected from the dorsal surfaces of the apex, body, root and torus of the tongue and the ventral surfaces of the lingual apex for light and scanning electron microscopic examinations.

Neurons in contact with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are found around the medullo-spinal central canal (CC) in adult mice. These neurons (CSF-cNs), located within or below the ependymal cell layer, known as the stem cell niche, present a characteristic morphology with a dendrite projecting to the CC and ending with a protrusion. They are GABAergic, present an intermediate neuronal maturity and selectively express PKD2L1, a member of the transient receptor potential channel superfamily with sensory properties.

Article Synopsis
  • The internal thoracic veins (ITVs) drain blood from several areas in the thoracic cavity into the cranial vena cava, playing a key role in venous circulation.
  • These veins show adaptability and can create collateral pathways if main venous systems are obstructed, which can help maintain blood flow.
  • The paper highlights the anatomy of ITVs in dogs experiencing certain vascular issues and emphasizes the importance of recognizing these veins during CT scans for better diagnosis.
