What are clusters of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous systems?
gangia(n) (pluaral/singular)
Clusters of many nerve cells are known as?
A cluster of many nerve cells outside the central nervous system is known as a ganglion (plural ganglia). A cluster of nerve cells within the central nervous system is known as a nucleus (plural nuclei).
What is the difference between nuclei and ganglia?
In the central nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a nucleus.In the peripheral nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a ganglion (plural: ganglia).The one exception to this rule that you may have encountered is the basal ganglia in the brain. Indeed, the basal ganglia technically should be called the basal nuclei, but they were named prior to the terms being defined and the name has stuck.
Autonomic ganglia contains what?
Autonomic ganglia contain the cell bodies of motor neurons.
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.
A group of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system is called a?
Ganglia
What are the collection of nerve cell bodies inside the CNS?
These collections are called ganglia. Ganglia often interconnect with other ganglia to form a complex system of ganglia known as a plexus.
A cluster of cell bodies in the PNS is?
Ganglion
What is a knot-like swelling in a nerve where the cell bodies of neurons are concentrated?
Paravertbral ganglia (aka sympathetic trunk ganglia)
What is a word for nerve cell bodies outside CNS?
ganglia is a group of cell bodies in the PNS.
Cell bodies of sensory neurons are found where?
Dorsal root ganglia of the spinal chord gray matter.
Collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the PNS?
Ganglia
