the dorsal root ganglia contain the cell bodies of:
motor neurons
sensory neurons
interneurons
autonomic neurons
The dorsal root ganglia are part of the peripheral nervous system and house the cell bodies of sensory neurons. Sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors (such as those for touch, pain, temperature) towards the central nervous system. Motor neurons have their cell bodies in the spinal cord or brainstem and send signals to muscles or glands. Interneurons are located within the central nervous system and process information there. Autonomic neurons are part of the autonomic nervous - system which controls involuntary functions, and their cell bodies are not in the dorsal root ganglia.
