Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ganglia associated with afferent nerve fibers contain cell bodies of sensory neurons. This is because afferent fibers transmit sensory information from peripheral sensory receptors (such as touch receptors, pain receptors, etc.) to the central nervous system, and the cell bodies of these sensory neurons are located in the ganglia associated with these fibers.
