Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most neurons of the dorsal root synapse in the spinal cord, specifically the dorsal horn. The dorsal root ganglia contain the cell bodies of the sensory neurons that enter the spinal cord through the dorsal roots. The cortex and ventral horn are not directly involved in the primary processing of sensory information from the dorsal root. The PNS refers to the peripheral nervous system as a whole, which includes the dorsal roots, dorsal root ganglia, and spinal nerves, but is not a specific site of synapse for the neurons of the dorsal root.
