Quantitative and spectrum analysis of human mylohyoid nerves

Histological analysis of 30 postmortem specimens of human mylohyoid nerve showed a mean fibre count of 1251 and, in each case, a bimodal fibre diameter distribution curve. No relationship was found between the fibre counts and the age, weight or sex of subjects. Counts in nerves from edentulous subj...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Histological analysis of 30 postmortem specimens of human mylohyoid nerve showed a mean fibre count of 1251 and, in each case, a bimodal fibre diameter distribution curve. No relationship was found between the fibre counts and the age, weight or sex of subjects. Counts in nerves from edentulous subjects were significantly lower (P less than 0.001) than those in nerves from dentate subjects. This apparent loss of fibres was not restricted to small diameter axons.
