    Abstract
    In order to extend our understanding of the role of nerve fibers in the structure and function of bone marrow stroma, we have examined nerve terminals, arterioles, and capillaries in femoral bone marrow tissues of 50 C57BL strain mice, using electron microscopy and morphometric methods. Within the adventitia of arterioles, a particular type of cell, termed periarterial adventitial (PAA) cell, is characterized by a thin veil-like cytoplasm which concentrically surrounds both nerves and arterioles. Nerve fibers containing both unmyelinated and myelinated axons are distributed mainly between the layers of PAA cells, but are found rarely on the sinus walls or within the hematopoietic parenchyma. Quantitatively, the efferent nerve terminals with many synaptic vesicles are distributed mainly beside arterial smooth muscle cells (Type I: 58.8%) or between the layers of PAA cells (Type III: 33.2%), and rarely in hematopoietic parenchyma (Type II: 5.3%) or on sinus walls (Type IV: 2.7%). In the case of Type II-IV nerve terminals, efferent (autonomic) nerves and bone marrow stromal cells which are connected by gap junctions (sinus adventitial reticular cells, intersinusoidal reticular cells, and PAA cells) appear to constitute a potential functional unit for signal conduction. We would like to propose a new term for this anatomical unit in marrow, the "neuro-reticular complex."
