Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called?

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.


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.


Where are cell bodies of motor neurons to skeletal muscles located?

Motor neurons to skeletal muscles have cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. These cell bodies send signals through their axons to control muscle movement and are part of the somatic nervous system.


What are some collections of nerve cell bodies found in a small number of locations outside the central nervous system are called?

Ganglia. Ganglia are collections of nerve cell bodies found outside the central nervous system, typically located along the peripheral nerves. They can be sensory ganglia (containing cell bodies of sensory neurons) or autonomic ganglia (containing cell bodies of autonomic neurons).


Are collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the PNS?

Yes, collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are known as ganglia. Ganglia can contain cell bodies of sensory neurons (dorsal root ganglia) or autonomic neurons (autonomic ganglia) that help relay information to and from the central nervous system.

Where are the cell bodies for the second order neurons located?

Second order neuron cell bodies reside in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.


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.


What does the dorsal root ganglia consist mainly of?

cell bodies of unipolar neurons


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 does the dorsal root ganglia mainly contain?

The dorsal root ganglia mainly contain cell bodies of sensory neurons that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.


Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?

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


Where are cell bodies of motor neurons to skeletal muscles located?

Motor neurons to skeletal muscles have cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. These cell bodies send signals through their axons to control muscle movement and are part of the somatic nervous system.
