Size distribution analysis of myelinated fibers in the vestibular nerve of the pigeon

摘要: Abstract Nerve fiber counts and the spectral distribution of myelinated nerve diameters were determined for vestibular White King pigeon. An analysis variance indicated that raw data utricular, saccular, neglectar, anterior ampullary, horizontal ampullary branches could be pooled to give an overall unimodal having a mode in range 1–2 μm. this not done posterior intraspecific variation was considered cause discrepancy. The utricular had more fibers smaller than 3 μm diameter (84.9%) other branches. Overall, 63.8% (exclusive nerve) less diameter. For individual following average ± standard deviations obtained: 1774 88 nerve, 111 243 saccular 86 5 neglectar 1716 142 1554 151 1679 218 nerve. When all combined number 8720 847 1–17
