Ultrastructure of satellite cells of the trigeminal ganglion in human embryos during 6th, 7th and 8th week of development.
During 6th week of intra-uterine life in the trigeminal ganglion the satellite cells are of triangular shape in section and show scanty cytoplasm surrounding dark nucleus. They lie between 2 or 3 ganglionic cells. With the advancement of development the number of satellite cells increases. In the 8th week each ganglion cell is in touch with one or two satellite cells which have large, triangular nucleus and scanty cytoplasmic organelles.
