[Light microscopic and histochemical results on the innervation of Brunner's glands in the duodenum of laboratory animals (author's transl)]

Abstract

Brunner's glands of cats and guinea-pigs for instance are staffed with a well formed nerve plexus of cholinergic and adrenergic axons. Corresponding to numerous neurophysiologic results the excretory glandular cells and the enterochromaffine cells of Brunner's glands are subjected to a differentiated adreno-cholinergic influence.
