Aim of the study was to calculate the morphometric parameters of isolated Dogiel type II cells from the intermuscular plexus of the small intestine. Materials and methods: 3D models of the oval-shaped Dogiel type II cells from the intermuscular plexus of a rat (n = 1) were constructed and studied. Neurocytes were identified by the impregnation method on the frontal and horizontal sections of the wall of the small intestine. Results: The results showed that the total number of the nodes in the virtual model was 36534, and the mesh elements — 156595. The resulting 3D model of the cell and nucleus was reduced 900 times to obtain a threedimensional cell and nucleus with absolute dimensions, with a ratio of 1:1 to their true size. The volume of Dogiel type II cell was 2785.11 μm³, the volume of the nucleus was 647.7 μm³ and the volume of its perikaryon was 2785.11 μm³. Conclusion: Dogiel type II cells from the intermuscular plexus of the rat small intestine has an ovoid shaped threedimensional structure. These cells are flattened in transverse direction and elongated in longitudinal direction.
