Where is the anterior (ventral) root located in the sequence of structures through which motor impulses pass as they descent from the brain and leve the spinal cord? A. Between anterior (ventral) gray horn and spinal nerve B. Between spinal nerve and posterior (dorsal) root ganglion C. Between anterior (ventral) gray horn and posterior (dorsal) gray horn D. Between white column and posterior (dorsal) gray horn

Step 1
They first reach the anterior (ventral) gray horn, which contains the cell bodies of motor neurons. From there, the motor impulses travel through the anterior (ventral) root, which connects the anterior gray horn to the spinal nerve. The spinal nerve then carries Show more…
