We systematically studied the enteric nervous system of the alimentary tract in seven patients with Parkinson's disease. In all patients, characteristic inclusions histologically and ultrastructurally identical to Lewy bodies were found in Auerbach's and Meissner's plexuses. They were most frequent in...

1). The myenteric plexus, also known as Auerbach's plexus, is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of most of the digestive tract. The submucosal plexus, also known as Meissner's plexus, is situated in the submucosal region between the circular muscle and mucosa. The ...
The submucous plexus in human colon actually consists of several distinct, although interconnected, layers. These are referred to as Meissner’s plexus (referring to the innermost layer, closest to the mucosa) and Henle’s plexus or Schabadasch’s plexus (referring to the outermost layer nearest...
17. Results: Large number of immunoreactive fibres was detected in lamina propria and muscularis mucosae. Strong staining of ganglion cells in the Auerbach's and the Meissner's plexus were observed on the normal specimens. There was very little or no immunoreactive fibre in the lamina propria an...

Nerve plexi exist within the bowel wall, with Auerbach's plexus sandwiched between longitudinal and circular muscle layers, and Meissner's plexus located more medially in the submucosa. The ENS is the largest component of the autonomic nervous system, based on nerve cell number. Interstitial cells...
The myenteric plexus is a collection of these cells in the layers between the longitudinal and circular muscle. There are also collections of these cells in the submucosa (Meissners’s plexus and Henle’s plexus), along the serosa, within the muscle, and even in the septa that separate ...
