Question

which of the following branches of a spinal nerve has the cell bodies of only sensory neurons?
multiple choice
posterior (dorsal) root
anterior (ventral) root
posterior ramus
anterior ramus
meningeal branch

Explanation:

The posterior (dorsal) root contains the cell bodies of sensory neurons. Sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. The anterior (ventral) root has motor neuron cell bodies. Posterior ramus, anterior ramus, and meningeal branch are not primarily associated with having only sensory neuron cell bodies.

Answer:

Posterior (dorsal) root
