What are the sensory region monitored by the dorsal rami of a single spinal segment?
A dermatome
Fiber type in anterior ramus?
alpha spinal motor neuron axons leave the spinal column and enter the nerves via the ventral rami.
Ventral rami of spinal nerves C1 through T1 and T12 through S4 take part in forming?
Except for T2-T12, all ventral rami branch and join one another lateral to the vertebral column, forming complicated interlacing nerve networks called nerve plexuses. Nerve plexuses occur in the cervical, brachial, lumbar, and sacral regions and primarily serve the limbs (MarieB, 2010 8th ed. pp. 502)
Gray rami communicantes connect to what two structures?
White rami communicantes (sing. ramus communicans) are literally white branches of communication between each spinal nerve and the sympathetic trunk. Their color is white because these lines of communication contain mainly myelinated nerve fibers of pre-ganglionic general visceral efferents from the spinal cord. Many of the pre-ganglionic nerve fibers synapse at the corresponding spinal segment level, and thus build a sympathetic ganglion at that level. Other pre-ganglionic white fibers either ascend or descend in the sympathetic trunk before synapsing in sympathetic ganglia above or below the spinal segment of origin. The sympathetic ganglia are literally knots in the sympathetic cord primarily containing cell bodies of the post-ganglionic neurons, whose axons are unmyelinated and gray in color. These unmyelinated post-ganglionic nerve fibers rejoin the spinal nerve at that level via the gray rami communicantes,as well as ascending or descending to adjacent levels. The white rami may also contain lightly myelinated sympathetic afferents whose cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglia synapse in the dorsal horn gray of the spinal cord. ANSWER: Carry preganglionic axons to the sympathetic chain
What is loss If the anterior root of a spinal nerve is severed?
The anterior or ventral roots carry motor or efferent information from motoneurons in the anterior horn to muscles. This is as opposed to the dorsal roots that convey sensory or afferent informaiton from the periphery to the dorsal horns of the spinal cord. This is not to be confused with ventral rami that subserve intrinsic muscles of the back and neck. Therefore if a ventral root is severed or cut there would be a loss on motor function to muscles in the distribution of that root (called a myotome).
What is the medical definition of dorsal rami?
The dorsal rami are small branches of spinal nerves that emerge from the spinal cord and supply the skin and muscles of the back. They are responsible for providing sensory and motor innervation to the back of the body.
The dorsal rami of the spinal nerves serves?
Skin and deep muscles of the back.
The posterior rami of the spinal nerves serve what?
skeletal muscles
Muscle inserts into the mastoid process?
Posterior Belly of Digastric Muscle (innervated by CN VII) Facial nerve Sternocleidomastoid (innervated by CN XI) Spinal accessory nerve Longissimus Capitis (innervated by dorsal rami of C3-C8 spinal nerves) Splenius Capitis (innervated by dorsal rami of middle cervical spinal nerves)
Difference between dorsal ramus and dorsal root?
The roots are two split bases of spinal nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The rami are branches of the spinal nerve that form a complex system throughout the body with the two primary ones being the dorsal (posterior) ramus and the anterior ramus. A diagram would look like an x with the two roots coming together from the spinal cord to go through the intervertebral forming a spinal nerve then splitting again immediately after the intervertebral foramen forming the rami of the spinal nerve
The dorsal roots …….along the spinal cord containneurones, while the dorsal rami containneurones.?
sensory; mixed
What are the sensory region monitored by the dorsal rami of a single spinal segment?
A dermatome
What region of the body is served by the ventral rami of spinal nerves?
The ventral rami serves as a form of intercostal nerves, which supply the muscles between the ribs and the skin and muscles of the anterior and lateral trunk.
Is a interlacing of ventral rami and give rise to alternative pathways for the conduction of impulses?
spinal nerves
Fiber type in anterior ramus?
alpha spinal motor neuron axons leave the spinal column and enter the nerves via the ventral rami.
The ventral rami of spinal nerves c1 through t1 and t12 through s4 form plexuses which serve the?
Serve the motor and sensory needs of the muscles and skin of the limbs.
The ventral rami of spinal nerves c1 through t1 and t12 through s4 take part in forming?
plexuses
