Allometric nucleo-cytoplasmic volune relations and rotation ellipsoid neuronal bodies of the cat nodosal and superior sympathetic ganglia.
Using a Henning and Elias' plot, evidence was obtained for the rotation ellipsoid nature of the three-dimensioinal shape of neuronal bodies of the nodosal and cervical sympathetic ganglia of the cat. Nucleo-cytoplasmic volume relationships for both types of ganglia neurons obeyed the allometry formula. The allometry coefficient (ratio of logarithms of cytoplasmic and nuclear volumes) was found to be similar in the neurons of both ganglia, its value corresponding to 1.38--1.43.
