Dogiel cells

Not to be confused with Dogiel corpuscle.
Cells of Dogiel
Cells of Dogiel can be seen within a spinal ganglion
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

Dogiel cells, also known as cells of Dogiel,[1] are a type of multipolar neuronal cells[2] within the prevertebral sympathetic ganglia.[3][4] They are named after the Russian anatomist and physiologist Alexandre Dogiel (1852–1922).[5] Dogiel cells play a role in the enteric nervous system.[6][7]
