Dendritic range of the neurons of the intermediate gray at the levels of the first and second lumbar segment of the spinal cord in the cat 1. The range dendrites of the central region neurons.

Spinal cords of kittens and mature cats were examined at the levels of L1 and L2 segments. Using Golgi impregnation method it has been stated that dendrites of the small and medium neurons lying in the central region of the intermediate gray ramify mainly within the region in question. Some of them, however, penetrate the neighbouring regions. The dendrites of large neurons reach the lamina III (according to Rexed's division), paramedially the white commisure, the intermediomedial as well as the thoracic nuclei. These dendrites reach even the lateral horns of the spinal cord (laterally) and the motor nuclei (ventrally).
