ULTRA-STRUCTURE OF TRIGEMINAL GANGLION IN HUMAN

The trigeminal ganglion (TrG) is built of pseudounipolar neurons, their fibers and satellite cells. Neurons that are different in size have been visualized using electronmicroscopic method. It is particularly interesting that stored pigments are a result of age alterations. Pseudounipolar neurons in (TrG) are sensory cells and they receive nerve impulses from sensory nerve terminals. In conclusion, (TrG) is a related station that receives information, arranges it and transmits the signal to the central nervous system (CNS).
