The number and segmental distribution of cell bodies of sensory afferents and sympathetic efferent innervating to the knee joint of the rabbit and the Formosan rock-monkey were investigated using retrograde transport with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). After injecting HRP into the articular knee joint capsule of the rabbits, labeled neurons were found in the ipsilateral L4-S2 dorsal root ganglia (DRG). However, following injection of HRP into the articular cavity of the knee joint in the rabbit and the monkey, labeled neurons were found in both the ipsilateral DRG (L5-S2 and L4-S1 of the rabbit and monkey, respectively) and in the ipsilateral sympathetic ganglia (SG) (L4-S3 (rabbit) and L3-S1 (monkey)). The majority of labeled neurons within the DRG and the SG were composed of medium and large neurons in the monkey and the rabbit, respectively. The present findings suggest that the sensory projections from and sympathetic projection to the knee joint in rabbits and monkeys are similar, but that both projections of monkeys were "shifted" one segment cranially compared to the rabbit on both projections.
