Ventral means front, therefore "ventral to the spinal cord" would mean "in front of the spinal cord"

If the ventral roots are destroyed can impulses reach the spinal cord?
In short, Yes.A majority of the "signals" that travel through the ventral roots are motor "signals" going out to the periphery from the spinal cord. As such, the signals have already "reached" the spinal cord from the brain or another region of the spinal cord.Thus, A ventral root lesion will interrupt signals from reaching the periphery.
What fibers do ventral spinal cord roots contain?
The ventral roots contain motor fibers.
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,
What would happen if the following structures were damaged or transected 1. dorsal root of spinal nerve 2. ventral root of spinal cord 3. ventral ramus of spinal cord?
loss of both the motor and sensory functions
What part of the spinal nerve consists of motor fibers leaving the spinal cord?
The ventral root.
What is effaces the ventral thecal sac?
It is where the nerves go and spinal fluid is and protects spinal cord
Can spinal cord found in the ventral cavity?
no, it's part of the dorsal cavity
What are the large cell bodies in the ventral horn of the spinal cord?
wonderful times
What type of neuron is found in the ventral horn of the spinal cord?
Efferent (motor)
What is a dorsal hollow nerve cord?
The dorsal nerve cord is one of the embryonic features unique to chordates, along with a notochord, a post-anal tail and pharyngeal slits. It is a hollow cord dorsal to the notochord. It is formed from a part of the ectoderm that rolls, forming the hollow tube, compared to other animal phyla, which have solid, ventral tubes. The dorsal nerve cord is later modified into the brain and spinal cord. Dorsal nerve cord is mainly found in phylum Vertebrata. Dorsal means the "back" side, as opposed to the belly side (ventral).
Distinguish between the dorsal and ventral horn?
The tips of the anterior horns are broader and less tapered than those of the posterior horns. Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual Ninth Edition Elaine N. Marieb & Susan J. Mitchell
What does effacement of the left ventral thecal sac and possible minmal flattening of left central cervical spinal cord at c5-c6 Left framinal stenosis particularly proximal at this level mean?
Ventral means in front. Thecal sac means the sac that contain the spinal cord and cerebro spinal fluid. Effacement of the ventral thecal sac means pressure is upon the front of the sac (producing a flattening effect) most likely from a disc protrusion. Foramen means hole (where the nerve comes out of from the spinal cord). Stenosis means narrowing (usually from bony degeneration or disc herniation/protrusion/or bulge). Left foraminal stenosis means narrowing of the passageway where the nerve comes through.
