Each scheme, in most cases, shows the hypothalamo-hypophyseal neurosecretory system of rats. Schemata 1-6 represent its frontal sections and schemata 7-12 its saggital sections. Schema 12 is a composite schema of schemata 7-11.In schemata 13 and 14 are compositely schematized the horizontal sections of the same system. Schema 13 shows the pathway of granules reaching from the nucl. paraventricularis to each part of the nucl. supraopticus and also to neurohypophysis, and schema 14 represents the pathway entering the neurohypophysis from each part of the nucl. supraopticus.(The pathways described in the present paper are partly omitted in schemata 13 and 14.) The explanation of abbreviations is put in the page facing figure-plate 1.Author's Abstract.With mature male mammals as test animals (rats, mice, rabbits and dogs) and by employing the aldehyde-fuchsin method, the substances produced by the hypothalamo-hypophyseal neurosecretory system are investigated and the superior staining affinities of the aldehyde-fuchsin method to the CHP method is confirmed.Pathway of neurosecretory granules are traced and an attempt is made to reveal the fiber connection, especially those between the neurosecretory nerve nuclei of the hypothalamus and the neurohypophysis.1. There are fibers (tractus paraventriculo-hypophyseus) reaching from the nucleus paraventricularis directly to the neurohypophysis. These fibers find their way to the dorsal side of the chiasma opticum or the tractus opticus, pass along in close proximity to each part of the nucleus supraopticus but independently of them and enter the median eminence from all its sides, especially from its rostral and lateral sides.2. There is no pathway of neurosecretory granules in certain fixed areas (A, A1, A2 and A3) around the 3rd ventricle.3. There are fibers reaching from the nucl. paraventricularis directly to each part of the nucl. supraopticus (the pars dorsolateralis, ventromedialis and tangentialis).4. Ther are fibers (tr. supraoptico hypophyseus) reaching from each part of the nucl. supraopticus directly to the neurohypophysis and there is a pathway of secretory granules leading from the pars dorsolateralis either to the pars ventromedialis or to the pars tangentialis. 5. Neither the tr. paraventriculo-hypophyseus nor the tr. supraoptico-hypophyseus is detectable in the form of a fiber bundle. The fibers are spread out expansively.6. In rats and mice, there is a pathway of neurosecretory granules leading from the pars dorsolateralis of the nucl. supraopticus to the pans ventromedialis or the pars tangentialis by way of the ventral side of the chiasma opticum and the origin of the tractus opticus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
