What is the structural role of protein?
Structural proteins are fibrous proteins. The most familiar of the fibrous proteins are the keratins. This forms skin, fur, hair, nails, hooves, horns, beaks and feathers. Other structural proteins are the actin and myosin proteins of muscle tissue, tendons and ligaments.Structural proteins are proteins that build up our tissues or body. actin, myosin, clotting factors are some of the structural proteins. They give up a shape and rigidity to our cells or tissues and ultimately to our body (muscle).

What is human hair primarily composed of?
Hair is primarily made of a special type of protein called "keratin." Keratin is the same tough, water insoluble material that fingernails and animal horns and hooves are made of. Hair also contains natural oils (lipids) and water. These hair "ingredients" are arranged in 3 primary structures: the cuticle (which is the outermost, shingle-like layer); the cortex (the inside of the hair consisting of bundles of protein filaments; and the medula (a soft spongy-like core in the center of the cortex.)
What is loss If the anterior root of a spinal nerve is severed?
The anterior or ventral roots carry motor or efferent information from motoneurons in the anterior horn to muscles. This is as opposed to the dorsal roots that convey sensory or afferent informaiton from the periphery to the dorsal horns of the spinal cord. This is not to be confused with ventral rami that subserve intrinsic muscles of the back and neck. Therefore if a ventral root is severed or cut there would be a loss on motor function to muscles in the distribution of that root (called a myotome).
