Morphological and functional charakteristics of histogenetically related structures - producers of monoamines - in the local regulatory apparatus of the large duodenal papilla

Abstract

Purpose of the study. Study of the morphology of open-type fluorescent cells and adrenergic nerve structures of the major duodenal papilla. Material and research methods. The material for the study was the area of the large duodenal papilla of 12 rabbits and 5 dogs. Fluorescent endocrine cells and adrenergic nerve structures were revealed by processing cryostat sections of the material with a gly-oxylic acid solution. Research results. It has been established that the fluorescent cells of the diffuse endocrine (APUD) system contain serotonin and catecholamines, the shade of their luminescence depends on the quantitative ratio of which. Where these two structures are located side by side, the shade of the glow is approximately the same. Discussion. It is assumed that the implementation of a complex response to the primary chemoreceptor information on the composition of the chyme, obtained by the fluorescent cells of the diffuse endocrine system of the major duodenal papilla, occurs through the exchange of biogenic amines between them and the adrenergic nerve structures of the duodenal papilla.
