Soma size was compared between the trigeminal ganglion cells projecting to the main sensory trigeminal nucleus (Vs) and those projecting to the nucleus caudalis (Vc) of the spinal trigeminal nucleus in the cat after injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into each nucleus. The results showed that the cells projecting to the Vc (Vc cells) contained by far a greater percentage of small cells than do those projecting to the Vs (Vs cells). In the Vc case, about one-half the total number of measured labeled cells were the smallest with a diameter less than 36 microns, whereas in the Vs cases, only a small proportion of the total number of measured labeled cells were that small. In addition, the results also made it clear that the Vs cells in the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions contained a higher percentage of larger cells than those in the mandibular division.
在向猫的三叉神经主感觉核（Vs）和脊髓三叉神经核尾侧亚核（Vc）分别注射辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）后，比较了投射至这些核的三叉神经节细胞的胞体大小。结果显示，投射至Vc的细胞（Vc细胞）中小细胞所占的百分比远高于投射至Vs的细胞（Vs细胞）。就Vc而言，所测量的标记细胞总数中约一半是直径小于36微米的最小细胞，而在Vs的情况下，所测量的标记细胞总数中只有一小部分是那么小。此外，结果还表明，眼支和上颌支中的Vs细胞比下颌支中的Vs细胞含有更高百分比的较大细胞。
