Where is axon located?

The axon is locaed i the anterior horn on the spinal cord The axon is locaed in the anterior horn on the spinal cord


What disease destroys the cells of the anterior gray horn?

Several diseases attack the motor neurons that have cell bodies located in the anterior horn of the spinal column namely: amyotropic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophies, primary lateral sclerosis, and Kennedy's disease (see the linked article for more detail).


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 an organelle?

An organelle is a specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function to help the cell survive and function properly. Examples of organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.


What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?

The muscle you are referring to is the subscapularis muscle. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It is responsible for medial rotation of the shoulder joint.

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 the function of the Vestibulospinal?

What is the function of tectospinal tract?

To relay visual reflexes to the anterior horn cells of spinal cord.

Will a viral disease that destroy neuron cell bodies of the anterior gray horn lead to muscle weakness or paralysis?

Yes, a viral disease that destroys the neuron cell bodies in the anterior gray horn of the spinal cord can lead to muscle weakness or paralysis. The anterior gray horn is responsible for sending signals to the muscles, and if these neurons are destroyed, the muscles will not receive the necessary signals to contract properly, resulting in weakness or paralysis.


Where does synapses occur in the spinal cord?

Cell body of sensory neuron - in dorsal root ganglion. Cell body of motor neuron - in anterior gray horn.


Do the cell of Euglena have an anterior or posterior flagellum?

The cell of Euglena has an anterior flagellum.


Is the dorsal horn anterior to the ventral horns?

no


What are the largest cells in the human body in terms of diameter?

The anterior horn cell (nerve cell in the cerebellum) is the largest cell in diameter (135 μm). The longest cell also belongs to the nervous cells (such as the pseudounipolar neurons).


Motor impulses leave what horn of the spinal cord?

Motor nerve leaves anterior horn.


What type of Impulse thravels through the anterior gray horn?

What type of signal travels through the anterior gray horn?

The anterior gray horn is an element located in the spinal cord of animals. This element receives and responds to sensory impulses.
