Adrenergic innervation of the heart of the bat, Miniopterus schreibersii
Abstract The adrenergic innervation of the heart of the bat ( Miniopterus schreibersii ) was studied with a fluorescence histochemical technique. The appearance and distribution pattern of the terminal adrenergic nerve fibers demonstrated in the atria, sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, and vent...
