WORKSHOP IN HISTOLOGY, CYTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY - 2016

Chapter 5. SPECIAL HISTOLOGY

Nervous system and sense organs.

Slide 67. Sensory (spinal) ganglion.

Staining: hematoxylin and eosin.

Magnification: x400.

The slide represents a Cytology/practical/54.html">Longitudinal section of the ganglion.

At low magnification, we can see the ganglion capsule (1) formed by Connective Tissue. Within the ganglion, we distinguish Neurons (2) and nerve fibers (3). The perikarya of peripheral pseudounipolar neurons are located mainly beneath the capsule, while the fibers occupy the central part of the ganglion. The neurons are rounded in shape with a large vesicular Nucleus, surrounded by mantle gliocytes (4), which can be identified by their round nuclei surrounding the neurons. Layers of delicate Fibrous connective tissue are visible externally.

The slide also shows the dorsal (5) and ventral (6) roots of the Spinal Cord.
