The Posterior Root Ganglia Mainly Contain

Question

The posterior root ganglia mainly contain
A) axons of motor neurons.
B) axons of sensory neurons.
C) cell bodies of motor neurons.
D) cell bodies of sensory neurons.
E) synapses.

Accepted Answer

The posterior root ganglia (also known as dorsal root ganglia) primarily contains cell bodies of sensory neurons that transmit sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system. Therefore, the best choice is D, which indicates cell bodies of sensory neurons. The other options (A, B, C, and E) are not correct as they do not accurately describe the contents of the posterior root ganglia.
