Pseudounipolar neuron
The unique shape of sensory, pseudounipolar neurons is demonstrated in this silver-stained section. A single stem process emerges from the spherical cell body and eventually branches into central and peripheral axons. This bifurcation is not visible here however the silver stain does reveal the twisted course of the stem process as it leaves the cell body. This region is called the initial glomerulus of Cajal. No dendrites originate from the cell body. Silver stain, 600x
