    4.8   Ganglion Version française
Section of a spinal ganglion.

In a few ganglion cells the axon hillocks (*), at the site of emergence of the axons, are recognized owing to the absence of Nissl bodies. The continuity of the axon hillock with the axon of a ganglion cell is indicated (red arrow).

The following structures are also labelled:

  • Basophilic Nissl bodies (Ni)
  • Satellite cells (S)
  • Lipofuscin granules (Li)
  • Fibrocyte (F) in the connective tissue
