A quantitative study was made of the number of fibers, their diameters and patterns of distribution in 14 ampullar nerves of chinchilla. The nerves were processed for osmium staining, embedded in plastic and cut serially in 1-micron-thick sections for histologic evaluation. Quantitative evaluation of nerve-fiber characteristics was made with the aid of a laboratory computer and specific programs. The number of the nerve fibers ranged between 1,877 and 2,175. The diameters of the fibers could be as large as 8 microns. The fibers between 2 and 2.5 microns were the most abundant, representing 29.6% of the fiber population. The distribution of fibers in the cristae was size-dependent: 80% of the thin fibers were located at the ends of the nerves, while most of the thick fibers were distributed through the central and intermediate areas.
对14只龙猫壶腹神经中的纤维数量、直径及分布模式进行了定量研究。将神经进行锇染色处理，包埋于塑料中，并切成1微米厚的连续切片用于组织学评估。借助实验室计算机和特定程序对神经纤维特征进行定量评估。神经纤维数量在1877至2175之间。纤维直径可达8微米。2至2.5微米的纤维最为丰富，占纤维总数的29.6%。嵴中纤维的分布取决于大小：80%的细纤维位于神经末端，而大多数粗纤维分布于中央和中间区域。
