4.9 Ganglion cells

Version française

Section of a spinal ganglion.

This field shows two neurones: one above with a large spherical nucleus and a central nucleolus, the other one below showing a fragment of a tangentially cut nucleus without its nucleolus. Both cells contain clusters of bronze-red lipofuscin pigment granules (*).

The satellite cells (S) present a spherical nucleus in an acidophilic cytoplasm. These satellite cells completely cover the body of the ganglion cells.

A fibrocyte (F) is indicated in the surrounding connective tissue.
