It has meanwhile been shown that the most sensitive cells are those that areundifferentiated, well nourished, dividing quickly and highly active metabolically. Amongst the body cells, the most sensitive are spermatogoniaand erythroblasts, epidermal stem cells, gastrointestinal stem cells.

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called ____.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called  ____

The answer is "dorsal root ganglia"

Explanation:

Explanations of some terms

Sensory neurons:

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, have cell bodies that are located in the dorsal ganglia (also known as  spinal ganglia) of the spinal cord. Most sensory neurons have one axon which is split into two branches, they transmit impulses toward the spinal cord.

Spinal cord:

The spinal cord is a tubular structure composed of nervous tissue housed within the vertebral column, runs from the base of the brain to the lower spine. Spinal cord is a component of the Central Nervous System that serves as information highway the between brain and the body which Integrates and processes information. It can function with the brain and can also function independently of the brain.

Dorsal root ganglia:

Dorsal root ganglia also known as dorsal ganglia originated as bipolar cells. They exists within the peripheral nervous system and they have special nerve cell clusters that aid in transmitting the sensory messages of pain and touch. The dorsal root ganglia receive information from sensory receptor organs and transmitting the information to the central nervous system.

What is pancreatitis and what is the basic mechanism that underlies the condition?
svp [43]
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that may be caused by years of heavy consumption of alcohol of gall stones. The pancreas plays major important roles such as secreting digestive juices into the small intestines, which help to digest fats, proteins, and the carbohydrates in food. It also release hormones insulin and glucagon that regulate the blood sugar. Pancreatitis is characterized by a pancreas being inflamed, therefore when this happens the body's normal complex coordination is disrupted and the enzymes in the pancreas are prematurely activated before they exit the organ, which results in these enzymes digesting the pancreatic tissue.
