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.

Which type of neurons are sensory neurons?
Sensory neurons traveling through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are pseudounipolar neurons.
Which of these neuron types are unipolar?
which of these neurons types is are unipolar
What contains of Pseudopolar neuron?
Sensory pathways contains these pseudounipolar neurons and bipolar neurons. The pseudounipolar neurons have dendrites fused with axon and they are for somatic senses. The bipolar neurons have two relatively equal fibres extending off their central cell body and they are for smell & vision.
Is the sensory neuron multipolar?
No, they (sensory neurons) are either pseudounipolar or bipolar.To memorize, remember the word "M" for Multi-unipolar, and "M" for "Motor" (fibres).
What are the largest cells in the human body in terms of diameter?
The anterior horn cell (nerve cell in the cerebellum) is the largest cell in diameter (135 μm). The longest cell also belongs to the nervous cells (such as the pseudounipolar neurons).
Neuron type in dorsal ganglion?
unipolar (pseudounipolar)
Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of what?
They are sensory neurons. :)
Is a association neuron unipolar?
No, an association neuron (also known as an interneuron) is not unipolar. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, while association neurons have multiple processes (dendrites and axons). Association neurons are responsible for connecting sensory and motor neurons in the central nervous system.
Where are Multipolar neurons found?
Unipolar neurons are found in ganglion outside the CNS.
Which ganglion is unipolar?
The afferent nerve of the PNS have the pseudounipolar cells.
Types of neurons found in mixed nerves?
Both sensory and motor neurons......
What neuron is found only within the central nervous system?
Interneurons or associative neurons(connecting or relaying neurons)
