Concept explainers
(a)
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the (a) anterior horn (b) lateral horn and (c) posterior horn. .
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the anterior horn.
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.
(b)
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the lateral horn.
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.
(c)
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the posterior horn.
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.

- Choose the correct answer, and explain why it is correct. Through which pair of intervertebral foramina do spinal nerves L5 leave the vertebral canal? (a) holes in the sacrum, (b) just superior to vertebra L5, (c) just superior to S1, (d) just inferior to S4.arrow_forward1) Motor information exits the spinal cord through the: a) anterior column. b) posterior column. c) anterior horn. d) posterior horn.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true in adults? (A) The tapering end of the spinal cord may terminate as high as T12 or as low as L3. (B) The first cervical nerves lack dorsal roots in 50% of people. (C) The coccygeal nerve may be absent. (D) The terminal filum is the vestigial rem- nant of the caudal part of the spinal cord that was in the tail of the embryo. (E) The spinal cord has a lumbar enlargement for the lower limb but no equivalent enlargement for the smaller upper limb.arrow_forward
