The epididymis is lined by a pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium that contains two types of cells - principle cells and basal cells. Principle cells are tall, columnar cells topped by many, long, thin microvilli called stereocilia.
The dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord
The cell bodies of the sensory neurons are in the dorsal root ganglion, but the motor neuron cell bodies are in the gray matter.
Cell body of each sensory neuron is situated at posterior root ganglion. So that way, together with motor neurons, they are the longest cells in body.

Cell Bodies of Sensory Neurons
Yes, cell bodies are found there. Gray matter is cell bodies; white matter is myelinated axons.
Dorsal root ganglion
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.
Autonomic ganglia contain the cell bodies of motor neurons.

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.
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
Autonomic ganglia contain the cell bodies of motor neurons.
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
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.
