A collection of cell bodies in the CNS is called a nucleus. The equivalent in the PNS is called a ganglion. There are three nuclei in the cerebrum known collectively as the Basal Ganglia but this is a misnomer as they should be called nuclei.

Collection of cell bodies found outside the cns?
neurons is the incorrect answer. The correct answer is ganglia.
What does the axon you in a nerve cell do?
The axon carries the action potential from the neuronal cell body to the effector (muscle or gland).
What is the ganglion in the CNS?
Anatomy James said:Technically they dont exist. A ganglion is a collection of neuronal cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system. A collection of these cell bodies in the central nervous system is sometimes mistakenly called a ganglion but is actually correctly termed a nucleus.Just C. Urious: The Cerebral Ganglion is the brain of an earthworm
What is the difference between a brain and a ganglion?
A ganglion is a description of cluster or collection of nerve cells OUTSIDE the central nervous system (or you can say that it is part of the peripheral nervous system). The brain is part of the central nervous system.
What is the job of the oligodendrocyte?
Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial (supporting) cell in the brain that sends out cytoplasmic extensions to insulate axons in the central nervous system. This allows for greater speeds of nervous impulses between the brain and a sensory receptor or between two neurons ("brain" cells).
Regions of CNS tissue that contain axons but not neuronal cell bodies are called?
White matter
What is a word for nerve cell bodies outside CNS?
ganglia is a group of cell bodies in the PNS.
Collection of cell bodies found outside the cns?
neurons is the incorrect answer. The correct answer is ganglia.
Collection of nerve cell bodies found outside CNS?
In the peripheral nervous system, which is outside the central nervous system (CNS), collections of nerve cell bodies are called ganglia.
What are the three types of neuron?
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
Where are post ganglionic neurons cell bodies located?
Postganglionic neuron cell body lies outside the CNS in an autonomic ganglion
What does the axon you in a nerve cell do?
The axon carries the action potential from the neuronal cell body to the effector (muscle or gland).
What does inhibit neuronal uptake of serotonin norepinephrine and dopamine in cns do for addictions?
Stops your drugs working and you go crazy.
What is the difference between clusters of cell bodies called nuclei and those know as ganglia?
Nuclie are in the CNS, while ganglia are in the PNS.
What is the PNS glial cell that surrounds neuron cell bodies in ganglia?
In this case it is satellite cell. In the PNS system there are only two types of cells which are in the neural structures outside the CNS, Schwann Cells and Satellite cells. The Satellite cells surround neuron cell bodies in ganglia.
Why are the cell bodies of the neuron only located in the brain and the spinal cord?
Neurons are the messengers of the central nervous system (CNS) which is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.
Cells located between neurons in the CNS?
The two types of cells in the CNS are neurons and glia. There are many types of glia, including oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia, each with different functions. In general, glia support neuronal function.
