Morphology and Development of the Distal Ganglion of the Vagus Nerve (Ganglion distale n. vagi) in Sheep during the Prenatal Period

This study was carried out on 31 sheep fetuses, which were divided into four developmental groups. It was established that the development and morphology of the investigated part of vagus nerve is strongly correlated with the developing organs of the fetuses. The very distinct ‘translocation’ of the distal ganglion of the vagus nerve in the caudoventral direction was observed in the course of development. There was no influence of sex on the results of investigation.
