Answer:
Collections of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system are called ganglia.
Explanation:
Ganglia are structures enclosed in a tissue sheath, which contains cell bodies of neurons. They also contain dendrites that make synaptic connections between neurons, transporting electrical impulses, connecting the brain with specific organs. They are part of the peripheral nervous and are responsible for connecting the peripheral nervous system with the central nervous system, both in an efferent sense (from the central nervous system to the sensory organs), and afferent (from the sensory organs to the central nervous system).
