Cerebrospinal ganglia of 11-, 13-, 15-, 18- and 20-day-old embryos have been studied light- and electron-microscopically. On the 11th day of anlage the ganglia are presented exclusively as neuroblasts: the satellite-cells are formed later from lemmoblasts that install into the ganglion on the 13th-15th days both from the surrounding mesenchyme and from the developing roots and trunklets of the cerebrospinal nerves. In the ganglion they undergo proliferation and further differentiation. On the 15th day simple satellite-neuron interrelationships are formed: one satellite-cell is tightly connected with perikaryons of some neuroblasts and young neurons. On the 18th day around some neurons a double layered capsule is formed from the satellite-cells. Multilayered tunics are formed only on the 10th-15th day after birth. During the process of the capsule formation an unusual reactive character of the satellite-neuron interrelationships is revealed, it is manifested as, performed by the satellite-cells, an active microphagocytosis of the perikaryon cytoplasmic processes and the initial segment of the sensitive neuron main process. In embryogenesis the lemmocyte-axon interrelationships develop earlier than the satellite-neuronal ones.
