Principles of Functional Exercise

Ganglion – cluster of cell bodies of neurons. Examples are the dorsal root ganglion of peripheral
sensory nerves and the sympathetic chain ganglion.
Nerve impulses are received by the dendrites and carried along the axon to the next
synapse. Here, neurotransmitters are released to travel across the synapse and stimulate the
next dendrite or the target tissue. If the stimulus is great enough, the process will continue.
