THE ESSENTIALS OF HISTOLOGY 



In the ganglia the nerve-cells have a nucleated sheath (figs. 91- 

 93) which is continuous with the primitive sheath of the nerve-fibres 

 with which they are connected. In the spinal ganglia, and in many of 

 the ganglia at the roots of the cranial nerves, the cells are unipolar,

and the cell-process joins a traversing nerve-fibre by a T-shaped 

 junction (fig. 91). In the sympathetic ganglia they are uiultipolar. 

 The cells are disposed in aggregations of different size, separated by 

 the bundles of nerve-fibres which are traversing the ganglion (fig. 96).
