## Background: The ultrastructure of the vagal and spinal accessory nerves was studied 1) in normal sheep and 2) in sheep in which an experimental crossed-nerve anastomosis had been made by sectioning the supranodose vagal and spinal accessory nerves, then suturing the distal end of the vagal nerve
