Question

What are the structural differences between dorsal root ganglion and autonomic ganglia

Answer 1

A ganglion is a group of neuron cell bodies in the periphery. Ganglia can be categorized, for the most part, as either sensory ganglia or autonomic ganglia, referring to their primary functions. The ganglion is an enlargement of the nerve root. ...

Structure. The neurons comprising the dorsal root ganglion are of the pseudo-unipolar type, meaning they have a cell body (soma) with two branches that act as a single axon, often referred to as a distal process and a proximal process.

Answer 2

Autonomic ganglia are clusters of neuronal cell bodies and their dentrites. The dorsal root ganglio lie along the vertebrae column by the spine and develop in the embryo from neural crest cells, not neural tube.
