SLIDE 64 - AUTONOMIC (SYMPATHETIC) GANGLION

How would you distinguish this from a spinal ganglion?  Notice that the nerve cellbodies are not particularly grouped in clumps, and that satellite cells do not form very well-defined capsules.  Several of these autonomic neurons contain yellow lipochrome granules (lipofuscin), though these are not necessarily always diagnostic.  On the whole, autonomic neurons are smaller that the sensory neurons of spinal ganglia.  Where are sympathetic ganglia located in the body?  Where do the axons of these cell bodies terminate?
