ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Satellite glial cells are a type of glia found in the peripheral nervous system, specifically in sensory, sympathetic, and parasympathetic ganglia. They compose the thin cellular sheaths that surround the individual neurons in these ganglia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Satellite cells surround the cell bodies of neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). There are two types of glial cells in the PNS, which Schwann cells and satellite cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Satellite cells also surround the multipolar neuron cells bodies found in the sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia. However, the dendritic processes prevent the satellite cells from completely enveloping the cell bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell bodies of the sensory neurons are in the dorsal root ganglion, but the motor neuron cell bodies are in the gray matter. The two roots join to form the spinal nerve just before the nerve leaves the vertebral column.

Detailed explanation-5: -Satellite cells are small glia that surround neurons’ sensory ganglia in the ANS. These resemble the astrocytes of the CNS and assist in regulating the external chemical environment.
