Which of the following is false? The dorsal root of the spinal cord conveys sensory (afferent) nerve impulses to the spinal cord. The posterior horn of the cord contains the cell bodies of motor neurons. The ventral root is formed by the axons of neurons in the lateral and anterior horns. The dorsal and ventral roots unite to form spinal nerves. The ventral root of the spinal cord conveys motor (efferent) nerve impulses away from the spinal cord.
The posterior horn of the cord contains the cell bodies of motor neurons.
Which of the following statements concerning the structure of spinal nerves is true? The ventral root contains motor or efferent fibers. The ventral root has a prominent root ganglion. Rootlets from the surface of the spinal cord form the dorsal and ventral rami. Each spinal nerve is formed by the union of a cranial nerve and a spinal nerve. Spinal nerves do not have specific cutaneous distributions.
The ventral root contains motor or efferent fibers.
Reflexes are homeostatic. are not homeostatic. are voluntary conscious responses to a stimulus. are integrated in the spinal cord, but not the brain. are integrated in the brain, but not the spinal cord.
