Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are located outside the spinal cord are called ganglia. These sensory ganglia are located in clusters called dorsal root ganglia, which contain the cell bodies of sensory neurons that bring sensory information from the body to the spinal cord. Therefore, option D, dorsal root ganglia, is the correct answer. The other options (A, B, and C) are not correct because they do not accurately describe the function or location of these sensory cell bodies.
