Best Answer

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.

What sensory neurons to motor neurons?

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.
