sensory
unipolar (pseudounipolar)
The cell body of the first-order neuron is typically located in the dorsal root ganglion (also known as the spinal or sensory ganglion) of the spinal cord. From there, it sends signals to the spinal cord or directly to the brain, depending on the type of sensory information it is transmitting.
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.
no
both afferent ( sensory) and efferent (motor)
Sensory neurons traveling through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are pseudounipolar neurons.
Both the spinocerebellar tract neuron and the sensory neuron from the quadriceps femoris are a type of primary sensory neuron responsible for conveying proprioceptive information to the central nervous system. They both have a cell body located in the dorsal root ganglion and an axon that enters the spinal cord to transmit sensory information.
Interneurons are a common type of neuron found in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. They play a key role in processing and transmitting sensory information within the spinal cord.
A preganglionic neuron is a type of neuron located in the central nervous system that forms synapses with ganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system. It carries signals from the central nervous system to the ganglia, allowing for communication between the brain and the autonomic nervous system.

No, bipolar cells are a type of neuron found in the retina of the eye, not in the ciliary ganglion. The ciliary ganglion primarily contains postganglionic parasympathetic neurons that innervate the muscles controlling the shape of the lens in the eye.
