Unipolar, bipolar, and multi- polar ganglion cells are recognized, the tlifterences depending upon the number of processes (nerve-tibres) which arise. In multipolar cells the number is large (fig. 52) and they are of two kinds, dendrites and axons or )ictirilcs. DtiiJrilcs are so called because they branch again and again, not far from their origin from the cell. The axons (of which there is usually Init one to a gang- lion cell) can extend a long dis- tance without gi\'ing off" liranches, except here and there side twigs {colhilvrals) which arise at right angles to the main tlbre; tliev often continue into peripheral nerves. They branch at their tips (It'hnfciulro) so the mor- phological distinction from dendrites lies in the greater distance of the region of branching from the liody of the ganglion cell. In bijxilar ganglion cells Ijoth pirocesses appear as neurites, but if one is to be regarded as a dendrite with its branching at some distance from the cell, the definite physiological distinc- ,⢠1 . 1 ⢠1 1 ji t F' ^^.âMotor !»an!i;lion cell from the thoracic tion has to f)e m\-oked that ⢠,â ,, â i i <â 1 , t, n l region ot the spinal cord of a dog (atler Belhe). the neurite carries the im- ", nucleus.
