The Development of the Dorsal Root Ganglia

 

The developing dorsal root ganglia (DRG), also called spinal ganglia, have been manually defined at late CS12, CS13 and CS14.

The images in the first column show the painted 3D domains. Cervical - red, thoracic - green, lumbar - yellow and sacral - light blue.

Click on the images in columns 2 to 5 to view the painted anatomical domains in 2D digital sections.

In each case the left-hand image shows the section plane in the painted model, with the disital section shown in the right-hand image.
