MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATIONS OF THE GOLGI APPARATUS IN SPINAL GANGLION NERVE CELLS, RELATED TO AGEING

Abstract
The results of morphological investigations on spinal ganglion neurons of the rabbit during the vital cycle, and in relation to the aging process were described. These studies deal with the neuron form (round and angular nerve cells), the juxtanuclear and perinuclear situation of the reticular Golgi apparatus, and the different degrees of morphological integrity of the reticular Golgi apparatus, classified into 6 different stages. The life periods at which the studies were conducted are fetal, at birth, at 1st mo. of extrauterine life, and at 1 and 3 yr. of age.
