Abstract:
The investigations were done on the periostal nervous system of the toracic acropodium at bovines, collected in butchery from 8 animals clinically healthy. Through macroscopic, macromicroscopic and microscopic researches was found that the periosteum of bones thoracic acropodium presents a receiver for the termination in the form of free moustache, arborizations, balls or neuroplasmatic plates. The capsulate forms of receptors are of the type of corpuscles Vater-Pacini, Golgi-Mazzoni and Krause formations. Encapsulate and capsulate nervous formations are grouped in receptors areas becoming an important source of afferent innervations that transmits the information related to the periosteum by higher nervous formations. The topography of receptors areas for each bone is specific.
