“…The cytological distribution of alkaline phosphatase in peripheral ganglia has been previously described in several species at the following sites: (1) nucleoli of neurons; (2) connective tissue capsule of the ganglion; (3) peripheral neuronal cytoplasm; (4) small blood vessels; (5) cytoplasm of satellite cells (Shimizu, 1950;Tewari and Bourne, 1962;Matsuura, 1967;Shantha et al, 1967;Thakar and Tewari, 1967;Matsuura et al, 1970).
