Summary Introduction

To describe:

The parts of a spinal nerve and the functions of these parts.

Introduction:

Spinal nerve is formed by the union of a ventral root consisting of axons from the motor neurons and a dorsal root. They are responsible for conducting sensory impulses inward from the peripheral body parts. The spinal nerve, through an intervertebral foramen, extends outward from the vertebral canal to give its branches.
