Dorsal roots can be slightly swollen due to inflammation or compression of the nerve. This can happen as a result of injuries, infections, or conditions like radiculopathy. Swelling in the dorsal root may lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the corresponding areas of the body.
Dorsal root ganglia contain cell bodies of sensory neurons, which are larger and more complex structures compared to the dorsal root that mainly consists of nerve fibers. The ganglia need more space to accommodate the cell bodies and additional structures like satellite cells and glial cells, leading to their larger diameter compared to the dorsal root.
Ventral root is the ventral portion of spinal cord,there is no ganglion,cell body is of motor types ,cell info goes out of spinal cord of anterior horn. dorsal root is dorsal portion of spinal cord,it posses ganglion,cell body is of sensory types,information goes into spinal cord posterior horn

The structure that is the sensory ganglion of each dorsal root is the dorsal root ganglion.

The dorsal root of the spinal nerves carry sensory information to the brain and is hence an afferent pathway.
A dorsal root ganglion is a cluster of nerves in the spine, specifically in the dorsal root. Displaced means that it's been moved out of its intended location.

The soma (cell body) of each pseudounipolar neuron is located within a dorsal root ganglion. The axon leaves the cell body (and out of the dorsal root ganglion) into the dorsal root, where it splits into two branches. The central branch goes to the posterior (dorsal) horn of the spinal cord, where it forms synapses with other neurons. The peripheral branch travels through the distal dorsal root into the spinal nerve all the way until skin, joint, and muscle.
The root word of "swollen" is "swell." "Swell" means to become larger in size, which is the basis for the word "swollen" indicating a body part that has enlarged due to inflammation or injury.
