The present study demonstrates the occurrence of substance P (SP)-and calcitonin gene
related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactive nerve fibres in bone, bone marrow, periosteum,
synovial membrane and soft tissues adjacent to the bone. The distribution pattern of the two
types of nerves was similar, although the CGRP-positive fibres generally were more
numerous. Both types of nerves were particularly abundant near the epiphyseal plate, in the
bone marrow of patella and epiphyses, and in the periosteum. Many SP-and CGRP …
