[The formation of the microcirculatory bed of the neuromuscular systems of the tongue in human prenatal ontogeny].

Abstract

A complex of adequate neurohistological and injection methods with use of mathematical analysis of the data obtained has been performed to study prenatal and early postnatal periods of ontogenesis of the microcirculatory bed of the human tongue neuromuscular systems. Certain changes of the degree in organization and structural-functional integration have been revealed; they demonstrate periodicity of the morphological changes of the vasculo-neural complex of the extra- and intrafusal part of the muscular tissue. In the neuromuscular spindles the microvascular network of capillaries is formed, their volumetric part changes in the process of development in greater degree than the microvascular bed of the extrafusal muscular fibers. In formation of the microcirculatory vascular bed of the neuromuscular spindles not only capillaries, getting into them together with nervous fibers, but also microvessels of the surrounding muscle tissue participate. This determines a higher level of the vascularization degree of the intrafusal muscle fibers.
