Cell Bodies of the Peripheral Nervous System are Located In

Question

Cell bodies of the peripheral nervous system are located in
A) ganglia.
B) Schwann cells.
C) the motor division.
D) the sensory division.
E) nerves.

Accepted Answer

Ganglia are structures in the peripheral nervous system that contain the cell bodies of neurons. These are distinct from the central nervous system, where neuron cell bodies are generally located in the brain and spinal cord. Schwann cells provide support and insulation to neurons but do not contain neuron cell bodies. The motor and sensory divisions refer to functional aspects of the nervous system rather than specific locations of cell bodies. Nerves are bundles of axons, not locations of cell bodies.
