PULMONARY NEUROEPITHELIAL BODIES IN THE RAT
This paper describes the study of the neuroepithelial bodies (NEB) in the lungs of adult healthy Wistar rats (n=12). Using the immunocytochemical reaction demonstrating synaptophysin, NEB and immunopositive nerve terminals approaching them, were visualized. It was found that NEB were the structures constantly presented in the rat lung. In contrast to the diffuse neuroendocrine elements, NEB are characterized by grouped distribution of cells. It was found that some part of NEB had no efferent innervation.
