[edit] I

I think it also has the cell bodies for the visceral sensory (sympathetic)

It is true that the dorsal root contains visceral sensory axons, and that the DRG contains their cell bodies. However, I think the name sympathetic does not fit, bc the autonomic side is usually reserved for visceral efferent (not sensory). In any event the first google book search result confirms that visceral sensory neurons are in the dorsal root. Lecture Notes on Human Physiology

I've rolled back this edit from an anon making their first edit. Anyone here have any opinions about the validity of the edit? --Arcadian 20:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
