Abstract:
The motility patterns of the reticulorumen evoke mainly mixing of the ingesta. So far unknown, intrinsic neural circuits of the enteric nervous system are involved in the control of these motility patterns. The aim of the study was to characterize neurochemically sheep ruminal myenteric neurones, in particular the neural pathways innervating the ruminal muscle layers. Cell bodies within the myenteric plexus projecting to the longitudinal or circular muscle layer were retrogradely labelled by di...     »
