Where are large groups of neuron cell bodies found?
In the dorsal root ganglia. The dorsal root ganglia is located in the dorsal root. The cells carry sensory signals to the spinal cord.
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
Where does the shingle virus remain?
In the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord.
Where do sensory nerve fibers enter the spinal cord?
The dorsal column or medial lemniscus.
Cell bodies of sensory neurons are collected in ganglia in the?
dorsal root of the spinal cord
Sensory neurons enter the spinal cord via what root?
ventral root yo
What order neuron conduct sensory impulses from the brain stem and spinal cord to the thalamus?
from spinal nerve to posterior (dorsal) root
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
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).
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,
Which neuron is common only in dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and sensory ganglia of cranial nerves?
multipolar neuron
Are dorsal and ventral roots spinal nerves?
The ventral roots contains motor fibers, responsible for motion, whereas the dorsal sensory fibers, responsible for touch and feeling.
