What type of neuron is found in the dorsal root ganglion?

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.


What characteristic does spinocerebellar tract neuron share with a sensory neuron originating in quadricep femoris?

Both the spinocerebellar tract neuron and the sensory neuron from the quadriceps femoris are a type of primary sensory neuron responsible for conveying proprioceptive information to the central nervous system. They both have a cell body located in the dorsal root ganglion and an axon that enters the spinal cord to transmit sensory information.


Type of junction where a motor neuron and a skeleton muscle cell have contact?

Neuromuscular junction. It is the point of contact between the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle cell, where the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that trigger muscle contraction.


What reflex does a a sensory neuron synapses directly on a motor neuron?

This type of reflex is known as a monosynaptic reflex. It involves a single synapse between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron in the spinal cord, leading to a rapid response to a stimulus without involvement of higher brain centers. An example of a monosynaptic reflex is the knee-jerk reflex.


What is a preganglionic neuron?

A preganglionic neuron is a type of neuron located in the central nervous system that forms synapses with ganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system. It carries signals from the central nervous system to the ganglia, allowing for communication between the brain and the autonomic nervous system.
