NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -In contrast to the motor system, the cell bodies of the afferent sensory fibers lie outside the spinal cord, in posterior root ganglia. Nerve fibers outside the spinal cord join to form anterior (ventral) motor roots and posterior (dorsal) sensory root nerve roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies present outside the CNS. The nerve cell bodies are clustered together in these structures and their axons reach different parts of the organ.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is b)-the dorsal root of a spinal nerve contains the axons of afferent sensory neurons, and conveys sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system; sensory neuron cell bodies are located in the dorsal root ganglion.
