Summary

Catecholamines and acetylcholinesterase appear in two structurally different nervous networks in the course of ontogenetic development, whereas pseudocholinesterase is located in the cytoplasms of isolated Schwann cells. The formation of the adrenergic plexus is accompanied by the storage of monoamines in intracellularly located sphaerical bodies.

Zusammenfassung

Catecholamine und Acetylcholinesterase erscheinen während der ontogenetischen Entwicklung in zwei, voneinander strukturell verschiedenen Nervengeflechten; dagegen ist Pseudocholinesterase in dem Cytoplasma isolierter Schwannschen Zellen lokalisiert. Die Ausbildung des adrenergischen Plexus wird von der Speicherung der Monoamine in intrazellulären sphärischen Körperchen begleitet.

Résumé

Les catécholamines et l'acétylcholinestérase se montrent en deux plexus qui sont de construction différente au cours d'ontogenèse, tandis que la pseudocholinestérase se localise dans le cytoplasme des cellules de Schwann. La formation du plexus adrénergique accompagne un entreposage des monoamines dans des corps intracellulaires sphériques.
