Summary1 Specific catecholamine fluorescence was demonstrated in guinea‐pig trachea in fine, varicose, nerve fibres running parallel to the tracheal smooth muscle fibres. 2 The density of nerves in tracheal smooth muscle was greater at the laryngeal end than at the bronchial end of the trachea. 3 The findings confirm pharmacological evidence for an adrenergic innervation of the guinea‐pig isolated tracheal chain preparation.
