Terminal
ganglion - Auerbach's plexus - plastic section (20x objective lens)
-
This image from the
colon shows Auerbach's plexus (myenteric plexus) of neurons and nerves, located
between the inner and outer layers of the muscularis externa of the digestive
tract. The ganglion cells are terminal ganglia, part of the enteric division
of the autonomic nervous system. The nuclei of several neurons can be seen
in whole or in part, and others are out of the plane of section. Such neurons
can be identified by their large size and their large nucleus with a single
large and prominent nucleolus.
