Question

The sensory ganglion concerned with spinal reflex is located in

• A. Dorsal root of spinal nerve
• B. Ventral root of spinal nerve
• C. Both A and B.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dorsal root of spinal nerve

A dorsal root ganglion (or spinal ganglion) (also known as a posterior root ganglion), is a cluster of nerve cell bodies (a ganglion) in a posterior root of a spinal nerve.
The cell bodies of peripheral neurons are often found grouped into clusters called ganglia. On the basis of the type of nerve cell bodies found in ganglia, they may be classified as either sensory or motor. Sensory ganglia are oval swellings located on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves and on the roots of certain cranial nerves.
