What else can I help you with?
Are collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the PNS?
Yes, collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are known as ganglia. Ganglia can contain cell bodies of sensory neurons (dorsal root ganglia) or autonomic neurons (autonomic ganglia) that help relay information to and from the central nervous system.
Autonomic ganglia contains what?
Autonomic ganglia contain the cell bodies of motor neurons.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
Is Autonomic ganglia are motor ganglia only?
No, autonomic ganglia can contain both motor and sensory neurons. Motor neurons in autonomic ganglia innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, while sensory neurons can detect stimuli within the autonomic nervous system.
Why ganglia absent in ventral roots?
the ganglia sends information and the spinal nerves are dorsal which receives information. you would not have the one the sends information in the nerve that receives information you would be wasting resources
What does the dorsal root ganglia mainly contain?
The dorsal root ganglia mainly contain cell bodies of sensory neurons that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called?
Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and nuclei in the central nervous system. Ganglia contain the cell bodies of sensory or motor neurons, while nuclei contain cell bodies of interneurons or projection neurons.
Does the ganglia contain sensory neurons?
No, the ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside of the central nervous system. They primarily contain motor neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands for motor control. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory organs to the central nervous system for processing.
Afferent neurons are -neurons?
Yes, they are.
What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Collateral ganglia contain neurons that innervate tissues and organs in which cavity?
Collateral ganglia contain neurons that primarily innervate tissues and organs in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. These ganglia are part of the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic division, and they help regulate functions such as digestion and urinary processes by connecting to various target organs.
