Morphologic studies of renal innervation have utilized the methods of histochemistry and electron microscopy. Much information has been derived from examination of the renal cortex in monkey and rat. Fluorescence histochemistry shows a rich adrenergic innervation. Acetylcholinesterase can be demonstrated histochemically in the renal nerves by light and electron microscopy. Studies in the rat using 6-hydroxydopamine, a drug that selectively destroys adrenergic nerves, indicate that the glomerular arterioles and surrounding tubules are innervated by adrenergic nerves containing acetylcholinesterase. Distinct neurovascular and neurotubular junctions are observed the electron microscope. They are anatomically consistent with being the sites of synaptic transmission. Ultrastructural analysis of serial sections reveals that single individual axons contact multiple vascular cells and renal tubules. We now have a considerable body of information concerning the morphology of renal innervation are are beginning to appreciate the role of the renal nerves in kidney function.
