The innervation of the spleen of mammals is carried out by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. Catecholaminergic structuresin the spleen have been identifiedin dogs and cats of different ages, using immunohistochemical staining methods for tyrosine hydroxylase and protein PGP 9.5. The largest bundles are found in the walls of the vessels, and in the parenchyma, particulary in the red pulp, there are thin trunks. It is noted that in cats under the age of 1 year the nervous apparatus of the spleen is less developed than in cats of mature and geriatric age. In dogs, there are no age differences in the nervous apparatus of the spleen.
