We examined the distribution of enterofugal nerve terminals of bombesin-, cholecystokinin- and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-like immunoreactivity in the rat celiac-superior mesenteric ganglion complex. The majority of these nerve terminals were concentrated in the mesenteric side of the ganglion. The present findings suggest that some functional specialization occurs in the celiac ganglion of the rat.
