In short, Yes.
A majority of the "signals" that travel through the ventral roots are motor "signals" going out to the periphery from the spinal cord. As such, the signals have already "reached" the spinal cord from the brain or another region of the spinal cord.
Thus, A ventral root lesion will interrupt signals from reaching the periphery.

How are messages from the femoral nerve sent to the brain?
Messages from the femoral nerve are sent to the brain through a series of electrical impulses. These impulses travel along the nerve fibers of the femoral nerve until they reach the spinal cord, where they are then transmitted up to the brain via the spinal cord's sensory pathways. Once in the brain, the messages are interpreted and processed to produce a response or sensation.
What is the relationship between your nervous system brain and spine?
The brain initiates voluntary movement; the spinal cord and peripheral nerves relay impulses to muscles, making it possible for you to walk, reach, slap, or whatever. Peripheral nerves and the spinal cord relay sensations to the brain, letting you know that you are hot, cold, sick, dizzy, or in pain or pleasure.
What type of impulses does the nervous system use to send messages to the brain and spinal cord?
Organs and parts of your body send information to the central nervous system (that's your brain and spinal cord) by electrical impulses. When the impulses reach the central nervous system, a response is triggered. For example, if you touch a hot object, receptors on your skin will trigger an action potential in nerve cells. This action potential will be passed on to the next cell and so on until it reaches the central nervous system. The triggering of action potentials is what causes the electrical impulse. The central nervous system will then send impulses back to your hand via a motor nerve and will cause you to automatically pull your hand away.
What takes impulses away from the cell body?
Dendrites are responsible for receiving impulses and transmitting them towards the cell body. Once the impulses reach the cell body, the information is integrated and processed before being sent along the axon to other neurons.
What can help impulses reach all parts the body properly?
A healthy and well-functioning nervous system is essential for impulses to reach all parts of the body properly. This includes maintaining proper nerve conduction, adequate neurotransmitter levels, and overall nerve health. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques can also support optimal nerve function.
What neuron moves the impulses to the brain?
The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.
Does the spinal cord send messeges to the brain?
No the nerves in the spinal cord send the messages to the brain. Not the actual spinal cord.
When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron the process is called?
When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron, the process is called summation. This can occur through temporal summation, where multiple impulses from the same source rapidly fire in succession, or spatial summation, where impulses from different sources converge at the same time to reach the neuron's threshold for firing.
Describe breifly the nervous system?
The nervous system is a complex network of cells that transmit signals throughout the body. It is divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord). It is responsible for controlling and coordinating all bodily functions and responses.
What effect do volcanoes have on the ecosystem?
The ecosystems are destroyed depending on where the ecosystem is located. If it is near a volcano and the lava reaches it, the ecosystem will be destroyed. If the ecosystem is not in reach of a volcano it will be okay.
What is reach of halo?
Reach was a UNSC colony, and the last defense for earth. In Halo: Reach, the Covenant finds Reach and attacks it. The planet gets destroyed, and not 2 minutes after the UNSC ship Pillar of Autumn discovers Halo.
Do nerve impulses travel at 170 mph?
Nerve impulses do not travel at 170 mph; instead, they can vary significantly in speed depending on the type of nerve fiber. In myelinated fibers, impulses can travel at speeds up to about 120 meters per second (approximately 268 mph), while unmyelinated fibers are much slower. Thus, while some nerve impulses can approach high speeds, they do not typically reach 170 mph.
