What is the functional reason the muscle group on the dorsal leg is so much larger than the muscle group in the ventral leg region?
Because he weight of the body in many cases lie ove the muscle group and cause it to be much larger and more muscular.
If the ventral root of a spinal nerve were cut would there be a complete loss of voluntary movement in the tissue or region that nerve supplies?
Cutting the ventral root of a spinal nerve will denervate all target organs that receive efferent innervation from that spinal nerve.Spinal nerves are made by the joining of dorsal and ventral roots of a spinal cord segment. Dorsal roots generally carry sensory information, while ventral roots generally carry motor innervation. Another way to say this is that dorsal roots carry information from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS) in an afferent direction, while ventral roots carry information from the CNS to the periphery in an efferentdirection. Afferent information is generally sensory in nature, while efferent information includes signals to trigger muscular contraction as well as gland secretion, hormone synthesis, etc.

The Ventral Thecal Sac encloses the spinal cord and the nerve endings of the lumbar regions thecal sac (cauda equina) and serves as a protection for both and for the entire lumbar spinal region. The ventral thecal sac contains cerebral spinal fluid and it also serves as a buffer for the cauda equina.
