GANGLION TRIGEMINALE - LARGE LIGHT PSEUDOUNIPOLAR NEURONS

SUMMARY: Pseudounipolar neurons in ganglion trigeminale (GT) were described citologically by Retzius (1880). Cells vary in size in rather wide diapason in the ganglion itself of the same individual, and in ganglia of different species as well. Size of the cells are from 10 to 110 µm and biggest pseudounipolar neurons were described by Buhler(1898) in human spinal ganglion with size of 120 µm.
