Structurally ganglia are clusters of:
Correct answer: B. Cell bodies of neurons
- A. Complete neurons
- B. Cell bodies of neurons
- C. Axonal fibers
- D. Both axon & dendrites
Explanation
Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies lying outside the central nervous system, such as the dorsal root ganglia. Bundles of axons form nerves rather than ganglia, so the options naming fibres describe a different structure.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse
Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
