SYMPATHETIC GANGLION CELLS

Human, Glees' method, 162 x.

Multipolar ganglion cell bodies: Numerous dendrites, eccentric pale nucleus. Compare the multipolar ganglion cells of sympathetic ganglia with the unipolar ganglion cells of dorsal root ganglia (see Plate 101) and with the bipolar cells of sensory ganglia (see Plate 105). Most neurons of the central nervous system are of the multipolar variety. Preganglionic nerve fibers from the thoracolumbar autonomic outflow of the spinal cord synapse with cells within sympathetic ganglia.
