Autonomic ganglion (histology)

Sample 1

Title: Autonomic Ganglion - Sample (HE)

Description: 1 – neurons of the autonomic ganglion are multipolar, their projections are not visible,

small dark nuclei around the neurons are satellite cells (peripheral glia), 2 – fibrous sheath of the ganglion,

3 – glandular parenchyma of the organ, in the wall of which the autonomous ganglion is stored

Sample 2

Title: Autonomic Ganglion - Sample (AZAN)

Description: 1 – multipolar neurons of the autonomic ganglion, their projections are not visible, small dark nuclei around the neurons

are satellite cells (peripheral glia), 2 – fibrous covering of the ganglion, 3 – glandular parenchyma of the organ, in the wall of which there is

autonomic ganglion stored (adrenal gland), 4 – fat cells, 5 – vessels in the ligament, 6 – fibrous capsule with vessels

Sample 3

Title: Autonomic Ganglion - Sample (AZAN)

Description: 1 - multipolar neurons of the autonomic ganglion, their projections are not visible, small dark nuclei around the neurons

are satellite cells (peripheral glia), 2 – a peripheral nerve is found on a cross-section (right) and on a longitudinal section inside the ganglion,

3 – blood vessel, 4 – fat cells, 5 – fibrous capsule of the ganglion
