本研究的目的是阐明非洲尾猿科（旧大陆猴）自主心脏神经系统（ACNS）的一般结构和形态变异，并讨论该系统在非洲/亚洲尾猿科与人类之间的进化变化。通过检查11个非洲疣猴标本的左右两侧，对ACNS进行了详细的宏观比较形态学研究，其中包括一些以前未报道的物种（阿比西尼亚疣猴、安哥拉斑疣猴、稀树草原猴和小白鼻鬣蜥）。详细描述了非洲蠓科ACNS的共同特征。结果表明，亚洲（猕猴）和非洲狐猴科之间的ACNS具有同源性，而亚洲/非洲狐猴科与人类之间存在差异。特别是，尽管副交感迷走神经（心脏）系统的形态相似，但蠓科和人类的交感神经（心脏）系统的差异被认识到。这些差异包括颈胸神经节的组成，中颈节和颈胸神经节的位置较低，以及与人类相比，颈尾科心脏神经起源的范围较窄。总之，这些发现被认为是关于尾猿科最后共同祖先的形态学。j .

The purpose of this study was to clarify the general architecture and morphological variations of the autonomic cardiac nervous system (ACNS) in the African Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys), and to discuss the evolutionary changes between this system in African/Asian Cercopithecidae and humans. A detailed macroscopic comparative morphological investigation of the ACNS was performed by examining the left and right sides of 11 African cercopithecid specimens, including some previously unreported species (Abyssinian colobus, Angola pied colobus, Savanna monkey, and lesser white‐nosed guenon). The common characteristics of the ACNS in the African Cercopithecidae are described in detail. Consequently, homologies of the ACNS between Asian (macaques) and African Cercopithecidae, and differences between the Asian/African Cercopithecidae and humans, were found. In particular, differences in the sympathetic (cardiac) systems of the Cercopithecidae and humans were recognized, despite the similar morphology of the parasympathetic vagal (cardiac) system. These differences include the composition of the cervicothoracic ganglion, the lower positions of the middle cervical and cervicothoracic ganglia, and the narrow range for the origin of the cardiac nerves in the Cercopithecidae, compared with that in humans. In conclusion, these findings are considered with regard to the morphology of the last common ancestors of the Cercopithecidae. J. Morphol., 2007 © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
