An embryologist is looking at a cross-section of a mouse embryo. She notices that flanking either side of the neural tube (the rudiment of the spinal chord) are eggplant-shaped structures that contain many cell bodies. These structures are most likely:

ganglia.

nerve cords.

nerves.

myelin sheaths.

axon hillocks.
