The present study deals with the behaviour of the erectile tissue of the nasal mucosa in the normal rat and after selective transection of the autonomic nerve supply, measured with physiological and histometrical techniques. In the normal animal cyclic changes in the patency of the nasal lumen occurs with a cyclus time of 61 min, disturbances being observed in this rhythm a few weeks after transection of the various autonomic nerves. Selective transection of the main route of the sympathetic or the parasympathetic systems results in a dominance of the antagonist (congestion or decongestion). Transection of both systems does not result in a significant change in the dilated state of the nasal cavity from normal, although the cyclic activity disappears. A tendency towards a normal nasal cycle was observed several months after transection.
本研究通过生理和组织测量技术，探讨了正常大鼠鼻黏膜勃起组织的行为，以及自主神经供应被选择性切断后的行为。在正常动物中，鼻道通畅度会出现周期性变化，周期时间为61分钟，在切断各种自主神经几周后，这种节律会出现紊乱。选择性切断交感或副交感系统的主要路径会导致拮抗作用占主导（充血或充血减轻）。切断两个系统并不会使鼻腔扩张状态与正常状态相比发生显著变化，尽管周期性活动消失了。切断后几个月观察到有恢复正常鼻周期的趋势。
