sensory ganglion

A sensory ganglion is a cluster of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system. Specifically, these ganglia house the cell bodies of sensory neurons, which transmit impulses towards the central nervous system. In vertebrates, sensory ganglia are found on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves and on the roots of certain cranial nerves. These ganglia are crucial for relaying sensory information from the body's surface and internal organs to the brain and spinal cord. They are distinct from motor ganglia, which are associated with the autonomic nervous system.123
