Neuron cell body-Axonal terminal portion

Question

What is an instance of a condition in which the neuron cell body is situated in a part of body and its axonal terminal portion is in a further distant part of body? Why does this occur?

Answer 1

Most of neurons are located in brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) in places recognized as neural nuclei. Neural ganglia, ganglia, are structures of peripheral nervous system situated beside the spinal column, or near some organs where neuron cell bodies are also situated.

Neurons located at particular points can present distant axonal terminations and they as well can get impulses from axons of distant the neurons. The inferior motor neurons located in spinal cord are examples because their axons can transmit information to extremities of inferior limbs triggering contractions of foot.
