DORSAL ROOT GANGLIA AND

UNIPOLAR NEURONS OF PNS

Situated on dorsal nerve roots that join the spinal cord
Sensory (round) unipolar neurons constitute the ganglia
Bundles of sensory nerve fibers or axons pass between the unipolar neurons

Connective tissue capsule encloses the ganglia and merges with the
epineurium of the peripheral nerve
Unipolar neurons are surrounded by satellite cells, which are enclosed by
connective tissue capsule cells
