The neurons located in the lateral horn of the spinal cord are primarily sympathetic preganglionic neurons. These neurons are involved in the autonomic nervous system and play a crucial role in the body's fight-or-flight response. The lateral horn is most prominent in the thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the spinal cord, where it facilitates communication between the central nervous system and the sympathetic ganglia.
What else can I help you with?
Is a multipolar neuron found in the ventral horn of the spinal cord a somatosensory neuron?
Yes
Where are the cell bodies for the second order neurons located?
Second order neuron cell bodies reside in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Neuron type found in the ventral horn?
efferent
What type of neuron is found in the ventral horn?
efferent (motor)
Neruon type found in the ventral horn?
motor neuron
Where is neuron type found in ventral horn?
Efferent (motor)
What is anterior horn cell?
Anterior horn cells are motor neurons located in the spinal cord that send signals to muscles to initiate movement. These cells play a critical role in the voluntary control of muscle activity. Diseases that affect the anterior horn cells can result in muscle weakness and paralysis.
What is an ex vacau dilatation of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle?
Congenital dilatation of posterior horn
Where are located peripheral motor neuron cell bodies?
For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.
What are some of the better known motor neuron diseases?
Some of the better known motor neuron diseases include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). These diseases affect the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy, and impaired movement.
What type of neuron is found in the ventral horn of the spinal cord?
Efferent (motor)
Are motor neuron cells bodies located in the gray or white matter of the spinal cord?
the white matter
