Light and dark cells in the lumbar sensory ganglia of pre and post-hatching domestic fowl.
Clear and dark satellite cell classes were identified by electron microscopy in the lumbar sensory ganglia of domestic fowl in 8 pre and 4 post-hatching stages of development. Some cytologic differences found between the two classes relating to the rough-endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus and junctional complexes suggest the existence of distinct functional features for both types of satellite cells.
