Difference between dorsal ramus and dorsal root?
The roots are two split bases of spinal nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The rami are branches of the spinal nerve that form a complex system throughout the body with the two primary ones being the dorsal (posterior) ramus and the anterior ramus. A diagram would look like an x with the two roots coming together from the spinal cord to go through the intervertebral forming a spinal nerve then splitting again immediately after the intervertebral foramen forming the rami of the spinal nerve
What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damaged?
Loss of both motor and sensory function
