Sensory neuron pseudounipolar

Simplified textbook anatomical illustration of a pseudounipolar sensory neuron. The neuron is long and slender with a small rounded cell body positioned off to the side of a single elongated fiber. One peripheral end has fine branched sensory or receptor-like terminal endings, while the opposite central branch continues as a long thin axon-like process extending toward the central nervous system and ending in tapered axon terminals. The soma is pale yellow, tan, beige, pink, or pale gold with a darker central nucleus, and the delicate processes are light yellow to pale blue-gray with minimal branching except at the receptive end.
