Which of the following areas of the spinal cord show enlargement of the ventral horns due to large numbers of motor neurons? C1-C2; L1-S3 C3-T1; T2-T12 C3-T1; L1-S3 C1-C2; T2-T12

Step 1
The ventral horns contain motor neurons. The cervical enlargement (C4-T1) and the lumbar enlargement (L1-S3) are regions of the spinal cord with a greater number of motor neurons to innervate the upper and lower limbs, respectively. Therefore, the answer should Show more…

23. Regarding the posterior columns, our perception of a given sensation as touch, rather than as temperature or pain, depends on ________. A) processing in the thalamus B) the type of lower motor neurons involved C) the first-order neurons that integrate the information at the spinal cord D) whether or not the axons decussate a second time within the cerebellum E) the number of sensory receptors the affected region contains in the primary sensory cortex 24. The corticospinal tracts that synapse on motor neurons in the anterior gray horns of the spinal cord are visible as they descend along the ventral surface of the medulla as a pair of thick bands, the ________. A) olives B) reticular formation C) pyramids D) medial lemniscus E) peduncles 26. Several centers (and their associated motor tracts) in the cerebrum, diencephalon, and brainstem, which may issue somatic motor commands as a result of processing performed at a subconscious level, were long known as the ________, but is actually now considered inaccurate and misleading. A) medial lemniscus B) pyramidal system C) anterolateral system D) reticular formation E) extrapyramidal system 31. All the levels of somatic motor control affect the activity of (the) ________. A) thalamus B) third-order neurons C) lower motor neurons D) medulla oblongata E) upper motor neurons
