Well, first of all, you spinal stem cells will be injured causing destruction of their outer shell, or cell wall. Then the inner mitochondria will be revealed and the power to the nucleus will be greatly reduced causing the mutation of the DNA stored in the nucleus. Then mutation causes cancer which is not good.

What is a planarian ventral nerve cords?
Planarians are bilaterally symmetric worms that possess almost unlimited regenerative capacities. The ventral nerve cords are located in the segment (brains) of the worm.
What is the function of a nerve cord in a worm?
While humans and other vertebrates have a spinal column that runs down their back, or dorsal side, earthworms possess a nerve cord consisting of two strands that runs down their belly, or ventral side. The nerve cord of an earthworm relays impulses from receptors in the worm's anterior to posterior parts of its body.
What is the function of the ventral nerve cord in an earthworm?
The ventral nerve cord makes up nearly all of the nervous system in the earthworm. It goes from the anterior (front) end to the posterior (back) end. It's function is simple; it's the nerves in the worm! If dissected, the nerve cord looks like a thin white line on the ventral (belly) side on the inside of the skin.
What are the parts of earthworms nervous system?
An earthworm has a paired brain attach to it nerve cord, that flows to its ganglia. The Clitellum ( the ring or band on the worm) is were the worm senses things. An earthworm can also not feel pain.
What does neurotoxic mean?
ADJ. Poisonous to nerve tissue, as to the brain or spinal cord.
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
Dorsal and ventral nerves of each spinal nerve unite to form what?
spinal nerve
What does the ventral root of a spinal nerve do?
the ventral root carries motor response
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 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.
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.
What would happen if the anterior ramus of 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.
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 part of the spinal nerve consists of motor fibers leaving the spinal cord?
The ventral root.
What type of nerve fibers are found in the ventral ramus of a spinal nerve?
Both sensory and motor
The motor root of the spinal nerve is also referred to as the?
ventral root
