Where Are Sensory Neurons

The cell bodies of the sensory neurons are located in the dorsal ganglia of the spinal cord. The sensory information travels on the afferent nerve fibers in a sensory nerve, to the brain via the spinal cord.

What are sensory nerves short answer?

A sensory nerve, or afferent nerve, is a general anatomic term for a nerve which contains predominantly somatic afferent nerve fibers.

What is released from sensory neurons?

Through an impulse, the axon terminals of a neuron release neurotransmitters over the synapses. On the other side, the adjacent membrane (dendrite, muscle or gland cell), with the appropriate chemical receptors, receives the neurotransmitters. This may trigger an electrical impulse across the neighbor neuron cell.
