Location: Mainly located within the gray matter ganglia of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord
Shape: round, cone, fusiform, star, etc.
Nucleus: located in the center, large and round, with obvious nuclear envelope and more euchromatin, so it is lightly colored, and the nucleolus is large and round.
Cytoplasm【LM】
Nislsite
Basophilic, evenly distributed
shape
Thick plaques (in large neurons such as spinal motor neurons)
Fine granular (in small neurons such as intraganglionic neurons)
EM
Well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes
Function
Synthesis of structural proteins required for renewal of organelles
Enzymes and neuromodulators required for the synthesis of neurotransmitters
neurofibrils
It cannot be distinguished in HE-stained sections, but appears as brown-black filaments in silver-stained sections.
arranged into a network and extending into dendrites and axons
Function
Microtubules participate in material transport
Mitochondria, Golgi complex, lysosomes, etc.
The remnants of lysosomes - lipofuscin
Cell membrane [excitable membrane]
Function
generate and conduct nerve impulses
