The work is devoted to the study of the structure of the innervation apparatus of taste buds in the epiglottis of monkeys (Macacus rhesus). The Campos inpregnation method was used. It is established that several afferent myelinated fibers participate in the innervation of each taste bud of the epiglottis. The peculiarity of structure of their preterminal and terminal parts having the appearance of complex windings and spirals is noted. The polyaxonic principle of the innervation of taste buds of the epiglottis in monkeys is considered as a possible mechanism of generalization of the afferent impulses. It is suggested that the innervation apparatus of the taste buds of the epiglottis constitutes part of unique afferent system of this organ, ensuring its defensive function. The incongruity (from the histophysiological standpoint) of the term 'taste bud' in relation to the epiglottis is noted. It is proposed to call these formations special structures of the chemo-receptors.
这项工作致力于研究恒河猴会厌中味蕾神经支配装置的结构。采用了坎波斯浸染法。已确定多条传入有髓纤维参与会厌每个味蕾的神经支配。注意到它们终末前和终末部分的结构特点呈现出复杂的缠绕和螺旋状。猴会厌味蕾神经支配的多轴突原理被认为是传入冲动泛化的一种可能机制。有人提出，会厌味蕾的神经支配装置构成该器官独特传入系统的一部分，确保其防御功能。指出了（从组织生理角度来看）“味蕾”一词与会厌相关的不一致性。建议将这些结构称为化学感受器的特殊结构。
