Abstract
AbstractNerves affect the mitotic activity of the tissue that they innervate. The type of effects depend upon the nerve fiber types and conductive activity of the nerve. This was demonstrated by transection or stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve and removal or stimulation of the superior cervical ganglion. Transection of the right hypoglossal nerve produced an average increase of 18.5% in the mitotic activity of the right glossal epithelium. Stimulation of this nerve decreased the mitotic activity by 17.5%. Removal of the right superior cervical ganglion caused an average decrease of 18.4% while stimulation of this ganglion increased the mitotic activity by 17%.
