If the ventral roots are destroyed can impulses reach the spinal cord?

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.

What is a dorsal hollow nerve cord?

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).
