Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is located in the dorsal root ganglia?
A
multipolar neurons
B
bipolar neurons
C
unipolar neurons
D
ganglion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The neurons comprising the dorsal root ganglion are of the pseudo-unipolar type, meaning they have a cell body (soma) with two branches that act as a single axon, often referred to as a distal process and a proximal process.

Detailed explanation-2: -DRG neurons are pseudo-unipolar neurons with a single axon that bifurcates into two separate branches, resulting in a distal and proximal process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dorsal root ganglion, more recently referred to as the spinal ganglion, is a collection of neuronal cell bodies of sensory neurons. It is the most common type of sensory ganglion in the human body. Each cell body in the ganglion belongs to what is considered to be a pseudounipolar neuron.

Detailed explanation-4: -These impulses are transmitted from skin to the spinal cord by unipolar neurons whose cell bodies are clustered in groups in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-5: -The given statement is true. The neurons of the posterior root ganglion are either unipolar or pseudo-unipolar. These neurons possess soma or cell body having two branches.
