What is anterior horn cell?
It is a cell (neuron) located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord.
What is the function of the anterior horn cell?
The largest human cell is actually the spine's anterior horn cell. Measuring in at 135 microns around, the horn cell has a circumference that is 15 microns greater than an unfertilized egg.
Will a viral disease that destroy neuron cell bodies of the anterior gray horn lead to muscle weakness or paralysis?
Yes, a viral disease that destroys the neuron cell bodies in the anterior gray horn of the spinal cord can lead to muscle weakness or paralysis. The anterior gray horn is responsible for sending signals to the muscles, and if these neurons are destroyed, the muscles will not receive the necessary signals to contract properly, resulting in weakness or paralysis.
What disease destroys the cells of the anterior gray horn?
Several diseases attack the motor neurons that have cell bodies located in the anterior horn of the spinal column namely: amyotropic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophies, primary lateral sclerosis, and Kennedy's disease (see the linked article for more detail).
What will a viral disease that destroys the cells of the anterior gray horn do?
This can lead to a number of neurlogical problems, including paralysis, post-polio syndrome (in the case of poliovirus attacking the anterior gray horn), and other symptoms.
Do anterior teeth have pulp horn?
yes.. anterior theeth have pulp horn... all anterior theeth have 2 pulp horn except maxillary central incisors have 3 pulp horn...
Destruction of the anterior horn of the spinal cord results in?
Destruction of the anterior horn of the spinal cord often results in muscular disorders. These include sclerosis, Charcotâ??Marieâ??Tooth disease, progressive muscular atrophy, and other muscular atrophies.
Anti horn cell divices?
low motorneuron disease
Where does synapses occur in the spinal cord?
Cell body of sensory neuron - in dorsal root ganglion. Cell body of motor neuron - in anterior gray horn.
Where is axon located?
The axon is locaed i the anterior horn on the spinal cord The axon is locaed in the anterior horn on the spinal cord
Is the dorsal horn anterior to the ventral horns?
no
What are the largest cells in the human body in terms of diameter?
The anterior horn cell (nerve cell in the cerebellum) is the largest cell in diameter (135 μm). The longest cell also belongs to the nervous cells (such as the pseudounipolar neurons).
