I have already described (Journ. of Japan Urolog. Vol. XVII. H. 3) on the Innervation of ren capsule (then meant capsula fibrosa renis), thenceforth I have been studying the nerve supply of Fascia renalis and Capsula adiposa renis, and obtained many valuable contributions to these views concerning it, that these have only functions to carry the blood and lymphatic vessels and to make immovable the kidney in its location. I used the materials pulled (not cut by microtom) from the peripheral parts of capsula adiposa renis with some width of Fascia renalis of rabbits. dogs and rats. and succeeded to stain with Gross' silver-impregnations method and that of Cajal's. Referring to the nerve supply, the Fascia renallis and Capsula adiposa renis stand under the identical conditions, so it may be described with same articles as follows:-
(1) Excepting the nerve fibres running along (from the route to its smallest endbranches) the blood vessels there are many nerve fibres supplying there self-supportingiy (independent from the course of blood vessels).
(2) The latter consists of Remark's nerve fibres in generally with few or without myelinated nerve fibres together in its trunk.
(3) The nerve fibre trunk so arranged there, as it may be reminded of Auerbach's or Meissner's Plexus in the intestines, and on or in the neighbourhood of the ramific point of nerve fibre trunk so arranged as above stand many small type nerve cells.
(4) The nerve fibres above mentioned branched off repeatedly in their course becoming smaller and smaller and “Neuro-fibrillen” at last and ending in the connective tissue flbres.
(5) Remark's nerve fibres have many small size nerve cells along or in their course one after another in chains.
(6) Special form of nerve fibre ending. ganglion, nerve fibre of central nervcus system was never visible elsewhere.
On the other hand, as far as symptoms of visceral deseases are concerned, the painful sensation of kidney under many sorts of pathological circumstances was thought to be conducted by sympathetic nerves on the Fascia renalis and capsula adiposa renis and Capsula fibrasa renis that is to say, the impulses aroused by mechanical, chemical thermic electric stimulation or inflammation or pathological products were conducted by sympathetic nerves on the capsules towards the centres. When the impulses reached spinal cord, the nerve celle which situated in the neignbood of the sympathetic nerve cells receiving now impulses from the periphery simultaneously irritated to such a degree that those former are also thrown into acitivity. Reneviscero motor and Reno-viscero sensory and Reno-viscero trophic Reflex happen in these way, as the case may be. The theory above mentioned was conductively constructed by climical experiences and physiological experiments, but requires yet anatomical and histological facts (proofs), that is to say, morphological describing of sympathetic nerves to the kidney capsules were iusufficient. I made just good this defect and solidified the foundation for this theory. Combined with my fo mer essaay on the innervation of ren capsule, I finished the description of nerve supply, especially the sympathetic nerve supply cf kidney capsules and made clinical and theoretical problems, which belong to the Capsul nerve and being thought to be yet insolvable without some more fouodamerital facts (proofs), easily understand
