The tips of the anterior horns are broader and less tapered than those of the posterior horns.

- no ganglion
- info goes out of spinal cord anterior horn
- cell bodies of motor neuron
Dorsal root- dorsal side of spinal cord
- dorsal ganglion root
- info into spinal cord posterior horn
- cell bodies of sensory neurons
Spinal nerves are formed from dorsal and ventral root, so they have both sensory and motor axons.

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).
Neuron type found in the dorsal horn?
Sensory neurons. It also contains interneurons.
Important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex?
thalamus Also, the gray matter in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Are touch and pain from the primary sensory cortex?
Fine touch is detected in the PSC but pain (or more accurately nocioception) is more complecated. Fast pain terminates in the thalamus Slow pain terminates in the lamina V and dorsal horn. Both fast and slow pain then make more complex connections throughout the brain, depending on the stimuli
Example of unipolar neurons?
They are neurons with only one neurite. A neurite refers to any projection from the cell body, such as an axon or a dendrite!
Opposite of ventral horn?
Dorsal horn
Is the dorsal horn anterior to the ventral horns?
no
Dorsal horn sensory or motor system?
The dorsal horn is afferent or sensory; the ventral horn is efferent or motor. To make it easier to remember, think of A.D.am and E.V.e.
What is the difference between the dorsal root the ventral root and the dorsal root ganglion?
Ventral root is the ventral portion of spinal cord,there is no ganglion,cell body is of motor types ,cell info goes out of spinal cord of anterior horn. dorsal root is dorsal portion of spinal cord,it posses ganglion,cell body is of sensory types,information goes into spinal cord posterior horn
Sensory neurons enter the spinal cord via what root?
ventral root yo
What is loss If the anterior root of a spinal nerve is severed?

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).
Where is the site of the sensory soma?
Ventral Horn.
Neuron type found in the ventral horn?
efferent
Neroun type found in the ventral horn?
yes
What neuron can be found in the spinal cord?
the dorsal horn of the spinal cord carries sensory or afferent nerve fibers. so basically signals get carried to the CNS.
What would happen if the ventral root was cut?
ventral root from the ventral horn of the spinal cord is motor. If ventral root is cut it will lead to to a kind of paralysis called flaccid paralysis. This is because ventral horn contains lower motor neurons. As such the skeletal muscle innervated by the root is paralysed
What part of the spinal cord contains neurons?
Motor neurons are located in the gray matter of the brain, and their axons stretch out to the spinal cord through the ventral root. they are located in the Ventral horn of the spinal cord,
