The presence of nerve terminals in the tendinous insertions of human eye muscles was investigated histologically in adult human eye muscles obtained from donor eyes and in muscle pieces resected from juvenile patients undergoing surgical correction for strabismus. Lateral and medial recti, superior and inferior oblique muscles from adults, were stained "en bloc" using a silver impregnation method. Numbers of nerve terminals were isolated that resembled "palisade endings" previously described in other species. A single palisade ending usually appeared as an interwoven network of fine neural filaments that cupped the inserting tip of a single extrafusal fiber. A collection of palisade endings on several neighboring muscle fibers were supplied by a single myelinated axon that branched from a nerve bundle in the muscle mass. The presence of nerve terminals at the distal musculotendinous interface of juvenile muscle also was observed when some resected specimens of lateral and medial recti were sectioned and stained using Holmes' silver method with a picrofuschin counterstain. No conventional Golgi tendon organs were seen.
通过组织学方法，对取自供体眼的成人眼肌以及斜视手术矫正的青少年患者切除的肌肉块中的人眼肌腱附着处神经末梢的存在情况进行了研究。使用银浸染法对成人的外直肌、内直肌、上斜肌和下斜肌进行“整体”染色。分离出了数量类似于先前在其他物种中描述的“栅栏状末梢”的神经末梢。单个栅栏状末梢通常表现为细神经丝交织而成的网络，环绕着单个梭外肌纤维的插入端。几条相邻肌纤维上的一组栅栏状末梢由单个有髓轴突供应，该轴突从肌肉团块中的神经束分支而来。当一些外直肌和内直肌切除标本用福尔摩斯银法染色并复染苦味品红时，在青少年肌肉的远端肌腱 - 肌肉界面处也观察到了神经末梢的存在。未见到传统的高尔基腱器官。
