Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ganglia are groups of neuron cell bodies located in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) outside of the brain and spinal cord. They are responsible for relaying information between sensory neurons and the central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Options A and D are incorrect because axons and synapses are not typically found in ganglia, and option B is incorrect because dendrites are not typically found outside of the CNS.
