Paravertbral ganglia (aka sympathetic trunk ganglia)
This is likely a ganglion, which is a cystic swelling that forms on a nerve sheath typically due to repetitive stress or irritation. Ganglions are often harmless and may resolve on their own or with simple treatments like monitoring, rest, or aspiration. However, if the ganglion causes pain or affects function, medical evaluation may be needed.
Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and nuclei in the central nervous system. Ganglia contain the cell bodies of sensory or motor neurons, while nuclei contain cell bodies of interneurons or projection neurons.
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
No, the chain ganglion contains cell bodies (soma) of autonomic motor neurons, not sensory neurons. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies located in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spinal cord.
Cell bodies in neurons are called soma or perikaryon. They contain the nucleus and most of the organelles responsible for the cell's metabolic activities.
A Nissl body is a specialized structure found in neurons that is responsible for protein synthesis. These structures are especially abundant in the cell bodies of neurons and can be stained to visualize them under the microscope. Nissl bodies play a crucial role in maintaining the metabolic functions of neurons.
neurons and synapses
the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX
A.) The grey matter, the axons and dendrites of neurons.
cell bodies of unipolar neurons
Many upper motor neurons synapse with lower motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. This is where the cell bodies of lower motor neurons are located, allowing for the direct control of muscle function.
The dorsal root ganglia mainly contain cell bodies of sensory neurons that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
