Ventral means front, therefore "ventral to the spinal cord" would mean "in front of the spinal cord"
The ventral roots contain motor fibers.
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.
Motor neurons are located in the gray matter of the brain, and their axons stretch out to the spinal cord through the ventral root. they are located in the Ventral horn of the spinal cord,
The ventral root.
It is where the nerves go and spinal fluid is and protects spinal cord
loss of both the motor and sensory functions
The ventral subarachnoid space is a region within the spinal cord where cerebrospinal fluid circulates. It is located between the arachnoid mater and pia mater layers surrounding the spinal cord. This space helps cushion and protect the spinal cord.
The tips of the anterior horns are broader and less tapered than those of the posterior horns. Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual Ninth Edition Elaine N. Marieb & Susan J. Mitchell

wonderful times
no, it's part of the dorsal cavity
The dorsal nerve cord is one of the embryonic features unique to chordates, along with a notochord, a post-anal tail and pharyngeal slits. It is a hollow cord dorsal to the notochord. It is formed from a part of the ectoderm that rolls, forming the hollow tube, compared to other animal phyla, which have solid, ventral tubes. The dorsal nerve cord is later modified into the brain and spinal cord. Dorsal nerve cord is mainly found in phylum Vertebrata. Dorsal means the "back" side, as opposed to the belly side (ventral).
