Second order neuron cell bodies reside in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Neurons are the messengers of the central nervous system (CNS) which is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.
They are located within the spinal cord, specifically, they are found in the gray matter.
most of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord are
is: the cell bodies of motor neurons
For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.
Dorsal root ganglia of the spinal chord gray matter.
gray matter of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord
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.
