What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damage or transected?
There are a number of things that would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damage or transected, This would mainly cause the loss of the sensory function and there would be neuropathic pain among other effects.
What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damaged?
Loss of both motor and sensory function
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 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 does the ventral root of a spinal nerve do?
the ventral root carries motor response
Damage to this fiber type would lead to a loss of sensory function?
ventral root of a spinal nerve
What would be the result of damage to ventral root of a spinal nerve?
Would lead to loss of both sensory & motor function. Ventral ramus is the anterior division of a spinal nerve.
Is ventral root a loss of motor function?
Yes, the ventral root of a spinal nerve is the efferent motor root, consists of axons of motor neurons. It joins the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve, which consists of afferent sensory neurons (from the dorsal root) and efferent motor neurons (from the ventral root). Therefore severing the ventral root will result in a loss of motor function for the myotome supplied by that spinal nerve.
The motor root of the spinal nerve is also referred to as the?
ventral root
Fibers type in the ventral root?
motor
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.
What fiber type in ventral root?
Efferent or Motor
