Question

what is contained in the posterior (dorsal) horns of the spinal cord?
answers: a - e
a autonomic motor nuclei
b somatic motor nuclei
c nerve plexus
d neurons responding to afferent sensory stimulation
e golgi tendon organs

Explanation:

The posterior (dorsal) horns of the spinal cord contain neurons that receive and process afferent (sensory) information. Autonomic motor nuclei (A) are related to involuntary functions and are not in the dorsal horns. Somatic motor nuclei (B) are in the anterior (ventral) horns for voluntary motor control. Nerve plexus (C) is a network of nerves outside the spinal cord. Golgi tendon organs (E) are sensory receptors in tendons, not in the spinal cord's dorsal horns.

Answer:

D. Neurons responding to afferent sensory stimulation
