Clusters of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in the brain are called?

Clusters of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in the brain are called nuclei.


Are cell bodies of sensory neurons found in the gray commissure?

Yes, cell bodies are found there. Gray matter is cell bodies; white matter is myelinated axons.


Do lower motor neurons have their cell bodies in the brain and their axons in the ganglia?

No, lower motor neurons have their cell bodies in the spinal cord or brainstem and their axons extend directly to the muscles they innervate. Ganglia are clusters of cell bodies located outside the central nervous system.


What are the names of cell bodies in neurons?

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.


What structure contains cell bodies of neurons?

The neuron cell body is called the soma.


What are the small groups of nerves outside the brain called?

The small groups of nerves outside the brain are called ganglia. Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies (neurons) that are part of the peripheral nervous system and can be found along nerve pathways.


Where would you find cell bodies of sensory neurons?

The epididymis is lined by a pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium that contains two types of cells - principle cells and basal cells. Principle cells are tall, columnar cells topped by many, long, thin microvilli called stereocilia.

What neurons are affected in primary lateral sclerosis?

PLS affects a part of the neuron called the cell body (or soma). Specifically, it is the cell bodies of upper motor neurons that are affected.


Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?

the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX


What are the glial cells that are found surrounding the cell bodies of peripheral neurons called?

The glial cells that surround the cell bodies of peripheral neurons are called satellite cells. Satellite cells provide support and nourishment to the neurons and help regulate their environment.


Where are post ganglionic neurons cell bodies located?

Postganglionic neurons cell bodies are located in autonomic ganglia, which are small clusters of nerve cells located outside the central nervous system. These ganglia are found along the pathway of the autonomic nerves, allowing for communication between the central nervous system and peripheral organs.
