Abstract:
Ultrastructure of the pterygopalatine ganglion was examined in five adult rats. Ganglionic cells were found to be multipolar and completely covered with a mantle of satellite cells. Their cytoplasm contains typical cellular elements. Nerve endings contain two types of synaptic vesicles: small agranular of 45-60 nm in diameter and large dense core vesicles of 90-130 nm in diameter.
