Tree Number(s): A08.340.390.340; A08.800.350.340; A08.800.800.720.725.350
Unique ID: D005727
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005727
Annotation: sensory ganglia on spinal nerve roots
Scope Note: Sensory ganglia located on the dorsal spinal roots within the vertebral column. The spinal ganglion cells are pseudounipolar. The single primary branch bifurcates sending a peripheral process to carry sensory information from the periphery and a central branch which relays that information to the spinal cord or brain.
