Question
Chapter 13.2, Problem 8AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
About a nerve that arises from the anterior ramus in the thoracic region.
Introduction:
The spinal nerves are important because the spinal cord sends and receives signals from the body through the spinal nerves. The spinal nerve is composed of large number of nerve fibers or axons and resembles a cordlike appearance. The nervous tissue of the spinal cord is composed of organized cells that involve in the body movements and send the signals to different parts of the body. The spinal cord tracts are stimulatory nerve pathways that pass the information through action potentials.

Each spinal nerve branches into a ventral and dorsal:
ganglion
root
tract
plexus
ramus
How many nerve roots fires each section of the spinal cord have ? which type are they ?
Ie. two- one sensory and one motor
Four - with sensory and motor combined in each
Spinal nerves have both dorsal roots and dorsal rami. How are these different from each other in location and composition?
