What else can I help you with?
What does ventral to the spinal cord means?
Ventral means front, therefore "ventral to the spinal cord" would mean "in front of the spinal cord"
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 fibers do ventral spinal cord roots contain?
The ventral roots contain motor fibers.
What part of the spinal cord contains neurons?
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,
What would happen if the following structures were damaged or transected 1. dorsal root of spinal nerve 2. ventral root of spinal cord 3. ventral ramus of spinal cord?
loss of both the motor and sensory functions
What part of the spinal nerve consists of motor fibers leaving the spinal cord?
The ventral root.
What is effaces the ventral thecal sac?
It is where the nerves go and spinal fluid is and protects spinal cord
What is ventral sub arachnoid space?
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.
What type of neuron is found in the ventral horn of the spinal cord?
Efferent (motor)
What are the large cell bodies in the ventral horn of the spinal cord?
wonderful times
Can spinal cord found in the ventral cavity?
no, it's part of the dorsal cavity
Can disc indenting your ventral cord cause damage?
Yes, disc indenting the ventral cord can cause damage. When a spinal disc herniates or bulges, it can apply pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves, leading to compression. This can result in symptoms such as pain, weakness, or numbness, and in severe cases, may cause long-term neurological deficits. Prompt medical evaluation is important to assess the extent of the injury and determine appropriate treatment.
