Histology of the Dorsal Root Ganglion Histology of the Dorsal Root Ganglion. Many of the cell bodies of the sensory and motor neurons of the peripheral neves are grouped into nodules or swellings called ganglia. There are two major types of ganglia in the peripheral nervous system: the craniospinal ganglia contain the cell bodies of sensory neurons of cranial and spinal nerves. The autnomic ganglia of the autonomic nervous system contain the cell bodies of the motor neurons of autonomic nerves.

Taste Interwoven around the body of taste cells are taste nerve fibers that are stimulated by taste receptor cells. These fibers invaginate into the cell membranes with many vesicles formed beneath. -Vesicles contain neurotransmitters that are released through cells to excite nerve fiber endings.

Sensory Systems/Olfactory System/Sensory Organ Components The olfactory mucous membrane contains the olfactory receptor cells and in humans it covers an area about 3 – 5 cm^2 in the roof of the nasal cavity near the septum. Because the receptors are continuously regenerated it contains both the supporting cells and progenitors cells of the olfactory receptors.

NERVOUS SYSTEM III: SPECIAL SENSES Olfaction or the sense of smell involves chemicals. The receptors for smell are the olfactory hair cells located on the roof of each nasal cavity in a path of cells called the olfactory epithelium or membrane. Odors or scents chemical vapors. Chemoreceptor cells (neurons) perceive the chemicals as they vaporize. Olfactory receptors in the nose: chemoreceptors. - Taste receptors on the tongue: chemoreceptors. - Skin receptors: tactile, mechano, thermo, nociceptors. 2. Visceroreceptors: sensory receptors that produce sensations from organs or internal tissues. - Sensations include pain, hunger, thirst, fatigue or nausea.

The Peripheral Nervous System The most common type of sensory ganglion is a dorsal (posterior) root ganglion. These ganglia are the cell bodies of neurons with axons that are sensory endings in the periphery, such as in the skin, and that extend into the CNS through the dorsal nerve root. The ganglion is an enlargement of the nerve root.

The Inner Ear The inner ear contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance. The cochlea is the hearing part of the inner ear. The semicircular canals in the inner ear are part of our balance system.The cochlea is a bony structure shaped like a snail and filled with two fluids (endolymph and perilymph).The Organ of Corti is the sensory receptor inside the cochlea which holds the hair cells, the nerve receptors for hearing.The mechanical energy from movement of the middle ear bones pushes in a membrane (the oval window) in the cochlea. This force moves the cochlea's fluids that, in turn, stimulate tiny hair cells.he cochlea is the hearing part of the inner ear. The semicircular canals in the inner ear are part of our balance system. The cochlea is a bony structure shaped like a snail and filled with two fluids (endolymph and perilymph).

Hair cells: overview Hair cells: overview. Cochlear, as well as vestibular, sensory cells are called hair cells because they are characterised by having a cuticular plate with a tuft of stereocilia bathing in the surrounding endolymph. The cell body itself is localised in the perilymph compartment (see transverse section of the organ of Corti).

- The sensitive hair cells of the organ of Corti may have about 100 tiny stereocilia which in the resting state are leaning on each other in a conical bundle. In response to the pressure variations in the Cochlea produced by sound, the stereocilia may dance about wildly and send electrical impulses to the brain.

The spinal nerves contain the fibers of the sensory and motor neurons.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.he spinal cord is the connection center for the reflexes as well as the afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) pathways for most of the body below the head and neck. The spinal cord begins at the brainstem and ends at about the second lumbar vertebra.

MADMAN BIOLOGY The sense organs contain receptors that are sensitive to stimuli. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system - brain and spinal cord -and peripheral nerves. Nerve impulses travel through the axons of neurones - nerve cells. Reflex actions are fast, automatic and protective responses.

Neurons and Support Cells Relatively few nerve cell bodies occur peripherally, in the ganglia (small clusters of nerve cells) of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Wherever they occur, nerve cell bodies have a distinctive appearance. Nuclei of nerve cells are large, round and euchromatic with a single prominent nucleolus.
