The arrangement and number of intralaryngeal ganglia and their neurons in five mammals (dog, rat, guinea pig, rabbit and cat) were examined morphologically. Intralaryngeal ganglions were situated mainly in branches of the internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve (Int-SLN), dorsal and/or dorsolateral to the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, and around the inferior laryngeal nerve in dogs, rats, guinea pigs and cats, but they were identified at the branching out point of the Int-SLN exclusively in rabbits. The ganglion of each animal was spindle-shaped, with a surrounding fibrous capsule, and it contained many ganglionic neurons, vessels and connective tissue cells. The ganglionic neuron was oval-shaped and had a round nucleus: the diameter was smaller (20-25 microns) in the rat than in the other mammals (25-30 microns). More than 80 per cent of ganglionic neurons occurred in the supraglottis of all the animals except the rat. In the rat, this value was approximately 40 per cent.
对五种哺乳动物（狗、大鼠、豚鼠、兔子和猫）喉内神经节及其神经元的排列和数量进行了形态学检查。喉内神经节主要位于喉上神经内支（Int-SLN）的分支处，在环杓后肌的背侧和/或背外侧，在狗、大鼠、豚鼠和猫中位于喉下神经周围，但仅在兔子中在Int-SLN的分支点处发现。每种动物的神经节呈纺锤形，有一层纤维性被膜，包含许多神经节神经元、血管和结缔组织细胞。神经节神经元呈椭圆形，有一个圆形细胞核：大鼠的直径（20 - 25微米）比其他哺乳动物（25 - 30微米）小。除大鼠外，所有动物超过80%的神经节神经元出现在声门上区。在大鼠中，这个值约为40%。
