Detailed explanation-1: -The spinal ganglion contains the cell bodies of sensory neurons situated in the posterior root of each spinal nerve (except for spinal nerve C1). These neurons are known as first-order neurons of the somatosensory system and carry sensations related to touch, vibration, proprioception, pain and temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ganglia are oval in structure and contain neuronal cell bodies (somata), satellite cells (a type of glial cell), and a protective connective tissue layer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The ventral root ganglion of the spinal cord contains cell bodies of the motor neuron.
Detailed explanation-4: -A spinal ganglion, for instance, is a cluster of nerve bodies positioned along the spinal cord at the dorsal and ventral roots of a spinal nerve. The dorsal root ganglia contain the cell bodies of afferent nerve fibres (those carrying impulses toward the central nervous system); …
Detailed explanation-5: -A ganglion is a group of neuron cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system.
