Morphometric comparison of human nerve cells: special sensory system.
We compared morphometric data on various nerve cells in the human special sensory system using the modified Klüver-Barrera staining method with an extremely minimized shrinkage ratio and an image-analyzer. According to the measurement data of cell-body sizes, we classified nerve cells of the various nerve nuclei in the special sensory system into three groups. These data are of interest to better understand the process of nerve conduction in the special sensory system.
