The autonomic outflow and sensory structures in the ovary and accessory reproductive organs of the hamster are described by means of specific fluorescence and enzyme histochemical techniques for the demonstration of catecholamine and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), respectively. Sympathetic nerves accompany branches of the major blood vessels in the mesentery of the ovary, oviduct and tubal uterine horn and invest the vascular bed in each of these organs. Vasomotor fibers predominate in the ovary and oviduct, though occasional adrenergic axons supply thecal and interstitial tissues in the ovary and the longitudinal smooth muscle of the oviduct. Fluorescent myomotor axons run in the suspensory ligament and outer myometrial layer of the uterus, but most of the numerous sympathetic and AChE-fibers in the tubal third of the horn supply the intramural and submucosal vascular plexuses. A limited electron microscopic study of the central spiral (preplacental) arteries of the endometrium indicates that the surrounding terminal AChE-fibers are identical to the fluorescent and granular vesicle-bearing adrenergic axons which form neuromuscular junctions with these vessels. Based on the discovery of specialized sensory endings in the walls of the large collecting veins which drain the hamster uterus, a mechanism is proposed to account for the regulation of blood flow through maternal placental vessels which are devoid of an arteriolar neuromuscular apparatus.
利用分别用于显示儿茶酚胺和乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）的特异性荧光和酶组织化学技术，描述了仓鼠卵巢及附属生殖器官中的自主神经传出纤维和感觉结构。交感神经伴随卵巢、输卵管和输卵管子宫角系膜中主要血管的分支，并分布于这些器官中的血管床。血管运动纤维在卵巢和输卵管中占主导地位，尽管偶尔有肾上腺素能轴突供应卵巢的膜细胞和间质组织以及输卵管的纵行平滑肌。荧光肌运动轴突走行于子宫的悬韧带和外层肌层，但子宫角输卵管段中大量的交感神经纤维和AChE纤维大多供应壁内和黏膜下血管丛。对子宫内膜中央螺旋（胎盘前）动脉进行的有限电子显微镜研究表明，周围的终末AChE纤维与形成与这些血管神经肌肉接头的荧光和含颗粒小泡的肾上腺素能轴突相同。基于在引流仓鼠子宫的大集合静脉壁中发现的特殊感觉末梢，提出了一种机制来解释通过缺乏小动脉神经肌肉装置的母体胎盘血管的血流调节。
