Where Are Neuronal Cell Bodies Located?

Most of the cell bodies of neurons are in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), or in the ganglia (which lie just outside the spinal cord) of the peripheral nervous system.

Where are neuron cell bodies found?

The peripheral nervous system contains two broad classes of motor neurons. The somatic motor neurons stimulate voluntary muscles, such as those in the arms, legs, and neck; the cell bodies of these neurons are located inside the central nervous system, in either the brain or the spinal cord.

Where are neuronal cell bodies not found?

A nerve does not contain cell bodies. They are located in the ganglion (sensory) or in the gray matter (motor). tract - a group of fibers inside the CNS. The spinal tracts carry information up or down the spinal cord, to or from the brain.
