title: Histological studies on certain autonomic ganglia in the buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).
abstract: In the buffalo the sympathetic ganglionic neurons were multipolar and contained finely granular or vesicular Nissl material and eccentric nuclei with more than one nucleolus. They measured (mean values) 23.62 X 14.30 mum in the cranial cervical ganglion, 22.51 X 13.58 mum in the vertebral ganglion, 25.25 X 15.75 mum in the cervicothoracic ganglion and 22.84 X 14.27 mum in the fourth thoracic ganglion. Their density values were 256 neurons/mm2 in the cranial cervical ganglion, 250 neurons/mm2 in the vertebral ganglion, 248 neurons/mm2 in the cervicothoracic ganglion and 252 neurons/mm2 in the fourth thoracic ganglion.
