Sympathetic ganglion

Identification points

• The sympathetic neurons are multipolar neurons with eccentric nuclei, and binucleated cells.
• The satellite cells surround the multipolar neurons
• Unmyelinated and myelinated nerve axons aggregate into bundles and course through the sympathetic ganglion
• The flattened nuclei on the peripheries of the myelinated axons are the neurolemmocytes (Schwann cells).
• These nerve fibers represent the preganglionic axons, postganglionic visceral efferent axons, and visceral afferent axons
