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: -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-2: -Dorsal root ganglia contain a complex array of sensory neuron cell bodies that have different functions and innervate different targets. Many proteins such as channel proteins are highly related to neuron function.

Detailed explanation-3: -These cells are unipolar neurons (sometimes called pseudounipolar since they originated as bipolar cells, [Dogiel, 1908; Ranson, 1912]) with a peripheral process or processes that receive information from sensory receptor organs and a central process or processes that transmit this information centrally (Fig.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unipolar neurones possess a single process emerging from the cell body. This divides into dendritic and axonal branches. Neurones of this type constitute the primary afferents of spinal and some cranial nerves, having their cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglia and sensory ganglia of cranial nerves.
