Where is the soma located within a neuron?

The soma, also known as the cell body, is located in the center of a neuron. It contains the nucleus and other organelles essential for the neuron's function.


The synaptic terminal of a sensory nueron is located where?

The synaptic terminal of a sensory neuron is located either in the dorsal root ganglion (if it is a pseudo-unipolar neuron) or directly in the spinal cord (if it is a bipolar neuron). This is where the sensory neuron connects with other neurons to transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.


What neurons receive information from sensory organs?

Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.

Where is the nucleus located in the neuron?

The nucleus of a neuron is typically located in the cell body, also known as the soma. It is located towards the center of the neuron, where it functions to control the activities of the cell and contains the genetic material needed for cellular functioning.

What kind of neuron has a soma with a dendrite on one side and an axon on the other?

This type of neuron is called a unipolar neuron. It is typically found in the peripheral nervous system and is involved in transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system. The single process that extends from the soma branches into a central and peripheral process, with the central process connecting to the cell body.


What is the function of a relay neron?

Does chain ganglion contain soma from sensory neurons?

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.


Which part of a reflex arc would have a cell body in the posterior root ganglion?

The sensory (afferent) neuron has a cell body located in the posterior root ganglion of the spinal nerve. This neuron carries sensory information from the peripheral receptors to the central nervous system.
