Dorsal Root Ganglion Histology

Dorsal Root Ganglion, cat - (Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin)

  • Ganglion cells appear several times larger than other cells in the ganglia.
  • The perikaryon is very large and surrounds a large and light nucleus.
  • Only the cells immediately surrounding the ganglion cells as one flattened layer are satellite cells.
  • Nerve fibers will be visible close to or within the ganglion.
  • Lipofuscin - (a brownish pigment) accumulates with age not only in ganglion cells, but also in several other cell types of the body (cardiac muscle cells, smooth muscle cells, endocrine cells).
    • also called the aging pigment.
