Where in your body might you find sensory neurons?
A
muscles
B
mouth
C
brain
D
stomach
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell bodies of the sensory neurons are located in the dorsal ganglia of the spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located primarily in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) or trigeminal ganglia (TG; see reviews Belmonte and Viana, 2008; Pope et al., 2013; Krames, 2015; Nascimento et al., 2018).

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Oral sensory neurons of the geniculate ganglion (GG) innervate taste papillae and buds on the tongue and soft palate. Electrophysiological recordings of these neurons and fibers revealed complexity in the number of unique response profiles observed, suggesting there are several distinct neuronal subtypes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory receptors occur in specialized organs such as the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, as well as internal organs. Each receptor type conveys a distinct sensory modality to integrate into a single perceptual frame eventually.
