下丘脑大细胞性神经分泌神经元的形态观察

用快速Golgi法和醛复红法观察大鼠下丘脑大细胞性神经分泌神经元。这些神经元的胞体大,多数为多极神经元,少数为双极神经元,其胞体和突起中含有多少不等的分泌颗粒。轴突很细,呈串珠状,只有一个,绝大多数参与下丘脑—垂体束的形成,也有少数在核团内终末。树突较粗,1～4个,分支不多,一般不走出核团。含有分泌颗粒的粗纤维多数是树突,但是也有少数是分泌轴突,参与下丘脑—垂体束的形成。还有的神经元的突起与血管内皮和第三脑室室管膜上皮接触。此外在侧脑室脉络膜下丛中还发现有大细胞性神经分泌神经元。

CYTOLOGY OF MAGNOCELLULAR NEUROSECRETORY NEURON OF HYPOTHALAMUS IN RATS

By means of chromalum-hematoxylin and thiosulfate aldehydefuchsin stains the magnocellular neurosecretory neuron of the rat hypothalamus was studied. The cell body of neuron containing various amounts of secretory granules was large in size, with a variety of shapes. The axon of neuron showed an beaded appearance; only one in each neuron was very fine in diameter and left hypothalamic nuclei to form the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal tract. The dendrite, in general, thicker than the axon, did not project outside of the nucleus. Many of the thick short dendrites did not contain secretory granules or only few secretory granules. The thick processes with more secretory granules were considered as dendritic processes. A number of axons and thick processes containing secretory granules also contacted with the endothelium of vessels and the ependyma of the third ventricle. In addition, a group of magnocellular secretory neurons were found in the sub-choroid plexuses of the lateral ventricle.
