Dorsal root ganglia of the spinal chord gray matter.
dorsal root ganglia
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS

TrueTrue
A dorsal root ganglion is a nodule on the dorsal root of the spinal cord, and contains the cell bodies of neurons that are afferent. Afferent neurons collect sensory signals from the body and send them to various divisions of the brain.
Sensory. Large diameter sensory neurons populate the medial division of the DRG and convey information regarding proprioception, localized touch, and vibration. In the lateral part of the DRG, small diameter sensory neurons conveying information about pain and temperature.
Autonomic ganglia contain the cell bodies of motor neurons.
A nerve cell found entirely within the central nervous system that acts as a link between sensory neurons and motor neurons.
Sensory neurons: Transmit sensory information from the body to the brain. Motor neurons: Control muscles and glands, enabling movement and bodily functions. Interneurons: Process information within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory and motor neurons.
