Nissl granule staining is used to identify neuronal cell bodies in histological sections.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Nissl stain is most intense in nucleoli and in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, Nissl bodies are evenly distributed in the soma and proximal dendritic regions, but in a few healthy neurons they are concentrated near the plasmalemma. Such outward dispersion usually indicates a neuronal reaction to injury, anoxia, or disease and is aptly termed central chromatolysis.
