Morphological investigation of the ganglia celiaca, ganglion mesentericum craniale and ganglia aorticorenalia in the New Zealand rabbit (Orytolagus cuniculus L.)

The aim of this study was to search morphological structure of ganglia celiaca, ganglion mesentericum craniale and ganglia aorticorenalia in the New Zealand Rabbits. Twenty rabbits were used equally each sex. The rabbits were sacrificed and fixed under 10% formaldehyde solution. The adipose tissue was eliminated by maintaining the cadavers in 1% KOH solution at 30 0C for 24 hours. Ganglia celiaca, ganglion mesentericum craniale and ganglia aorticorenalia were examined under stereomicroscope. Ganglia celiaca were settled in different places around the arteria celiaca allocated from aorta. Ganglia celiaca was absent in one of the animals examined, one ganglia in 13 animals and two ganglia in 6 animals. Ganglion mesentericum craniale was counted as 24 in animals examined. There were 2 ganglions in 8 animals, one ganglion in 8 animals and in 4 animals ganglion structure were not observed. There were totally 28 ganglions of ganglia aorticorenalia located, both right and left side of arteria renalis. Ganglia aorticorenalia was not observed in two animals. It was seen that parasympathetic extensions of the branches arrived to these ganglions were originated from nervus vagus and sympathetic structure was composed by nervus splanchnicus major, minor, imus and nervus splanchnicus lumbales 1-2. The examination of the ganglia celiaca, ganglion mesentericum craniale and ganglia aorticorenalia in the New Zealand Rabbit demonstrated variances in the localization and shape of these ganglia as well as in the branches they received.
