What is the dorsal body cavity?
cranial cavity, which contains the brain, and spinal cavity, formed by the vertebrae, which contains the spinal cord.

cranial which contains the brain and spinal which contains the nerves of the spinal cord.
Which neuron is common only in dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and sensory ganglia of cranial nerves?
multipolar neuron
The anterior root and the posterior root fuse to form?
Each spinal nerve attaches to spinal cord by a ventral (anterior) root and a dorsal (posterior) root.All spinal nerves are mixed nerves (both motor and sensory).
Is the spinal cavity a ventral body cavity?
No. The spinal cavity is part of the Dorsal cavity, which also includes the cranial cavity. The spinal cavity is the space in vertebrae(spinal bones) through which the spinal cord passes.
