| Description |
Higher power examination of a small pyramidal cell. At this magnification the dendritic spines are easily observed. These spines are specializations that increase the surface area of dendrites. Spines are preferential sites for synaptic contact. Large neurons may receive up to 100,000 synapses via these sites. Identify the cell body. UCLA Histology Collection. |
