What would happen if the anterior ramus of a spinal nerve was damaged or cut?

The ventral rami of the spinal nerves carry sensory and motor fibers for the innervation of the muscles, joints, and skin of the lateral and ventral body walls and the extremities... So there would be some some loss of sensation and muscle function, but not total since the nerve bundles overlap at each level... There are also some autonomic nerves associated.

What would happen if the anterior ramus of the spinal nerve is damaged or transected?
The end organ or muscle innervated by that particular spinal nerve component would atrophy.
Would there be a loss of sensory or motor function when someone damages the dorsal root of a spinal nerve?
Yes this can happen when any nerve is damaged but this is a greater danger if its an actual Spinal Nerve.
What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damaged?
Loss of both motor and sensory function
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).
Structures form by the fusion on the anterior root and posterior nerve root?
Spinal nerve.....
What area of the spinal cord that is destroyed bye polio virus?
destruction of the anterior horn (Motor Nerve) of the spinal cord. The nerve cells can not regenerate.
What nerve may be damaged when unable to dorsiflex the foot?

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.
The neurons of the anterior horn of the spinal cord provide nerve impulses for what actions?
