Receptor apparatus of the stomach for peptic ulcer disease

Abstract

Numerous works of Russian physiologists (K.M.Bykov, 1947; K.M.Bykov and V.N. Chernigovsky, 1947; and others) provide objective evidence in favor of the existence of specialized nerve endings in the stomach (chemo-, mechano-, termo-, osmo-, baroreceptors), the function of which under pathological conditions changes sharply, as a result of which interoceptive influences from the stomach on the activity of various organs and systems are disrupted. The issue of the afferent innervation of the human stomach has been little studied. The interest of the morphological study of the afferent innervation of the stomach is associated, first of all, with the question of the functional significance of the detected sensory nerve endings and with the changes that they undergo during pathological processes.
