The dorsal root of the spinal nerves carry sensory information to the brain and is hence an afferent pathway.

Difference between dorsal ramus and dorsal root?

The roots are two split bases of spinal nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The rami are branches of the spinal nerve that form a complex system throughout the body with the two primary ones being the dorsal (posterior) ramus and the anterior ramus. A diagram would look like an x with the two roots coming together from the spinal cord to go through the intervertebral forming a spinal nerve then splitting again immediately after the intervertebral foramen forming the rami of the spinal nerve

Where are large groups of neuron cell bodies found?

Large groups of neuron cell bodies are found in structures called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and nuclei in the central nervous system. Ganglia are clusters of cell bodies outside the brain and spinal cord, whereas nuclei are centralized collections of cell bodies within the brain.


Cell body for first order neuron located here?

The cell body of the first-order neuron is typically located in the dorsal root ganglion (also known as the spinal or sensory ganglion) of the spinal cord. From there, it sends signals to the spinal cord or directly to the brain, depending on the type of sensory information it is transmitting.
