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.

A ganglion is a knot or a swelling consisting of neurons. The dorsal root ganglion is composed of sensory neuron cell bodies whose axons constitute the dorsal root of a spinal nerve.

Sensory or afferent neurons have their cell body in the dorsal root ganglion. These cells are classified as unipolar or pseudounipolar.

Called a dorsal root ganglion neuron (Kandel 431) - they are the cell bodies of primary afferent somatosensory neurons from the trunk and limbs.

Where are large groups of neuron cell bodies likely to be found?

dorsal root ganglion


Where are pseudounipolar neurons found?

The soma (cell body) of each pseudounipolar neuron is located within a dorsal root ganglion. The axon leaves the cell body (and out of the dorsal root ganglion) into the dorsal root, where it splits into two branches. The central branch goes to the posterior (dorsal) horn of the spinal cord, where it forms synapses with other neurons. The peripheral branch travels through the distal dorsal root into the spinal nerve all the way until skin, joint, and muscle.


Where does synapses occur in the spinal cord?

Cell body of sensory neuron - in dorsal root ganglion. Cell body of motor neuron - in anterior gray horn.

What is the difference between the dorsal root the ventral root and the dorsal root ganglion?

Ventral root is the ventral portion of spinal cord,there is no ganglion,cell body is of motor types ,cell info goes out of spinal cord of anterior horn. dorsal root is dorsal portion of spinal cord,it posses ganglion,cell body is of sensory types,information goes into spinal cord posterior horn


Is dorsal root ganglion PNS or CNS?

If I'm not mistaken, the DRG is part of the PNS in spite of the fact that within it exists a full neuron soma.


What is a displaced doral root ganglion?

A dorsal root ganglion is a cluster of nerves in the spine, specifically in the dorsal root. Displaced means that it's been moved out of its intended location.


Where are large groups of neuron cell bodies found?

In the dorsal root ganglia. The dorsal root ganglia is located in the dorsal root. The cells carry sensory signals to the spinal cord.
