Abstract
Quantitative counts of the intermediate nerve fibers of the mouse with electron microscope have shown that, on an average, 1,267 (79.3%) and 301 (18.9%) of the total nerve fibers (1,597) were myelinated and unmyelinated fibers, respectively. The number of unmyelinated fibers in the intermediate nerve was less than one-half the number of unmyelinated fibers in the greater petrosal nerve found in previous studies. Therefore, it is postulated that some of the unmyelinated fibers in the greater petrosal nerve may come from the intermediate nerve, while the rest may be derived from another source.
