Abstract
The avian pancreas contains numerous small ganglia in nerve bundles within the interlobular connective tissue. The present study assesses the number and density of intrapancreatic ganglion cells in the chicken. The number of ganglion cells in the pancreas was about 14,000 and the density was 18.0 cells/mm3. No ganglion cells were found in the pancreatic islet. The topographical distribution of ganglion cells suggests that they have a closer relationship with the acinus than with the pancreatic islet and, furthermore, closer with B-islets than with A-islets.
