Spinal Nerves: Roots What’s the difference between ventral and dorsal roots? Ventral roots Dorsal roots
7
What’s the difference between ventral and dorsal roots?
Spinal Nerves: Roots What’s the difference between ventral and dorsal roots? Ventral roots motor (efferent) fibers innervate skeletal muscles Dorsal roots
8
What’s the difference between ventral and dorsal roots?
Spinal Nerves: Roots What’s the difference between ventral and dorsal roots? Ventral roots motor (efferent) fibers innervate skeletal muscles Dorsal roots sensory (afferent) fibers conduct impulses from peripheral receptors
9
What do these two structures form?
Spinal Nerves: Roots What do these two structures form? They form the spinal nerves These emerge from the vertebral column via the intervertebral foramina

The dorsal and ventral roots arise medially as rootlets and join laterally to form the spinal nerve. Figure 13.7 (a)
11
Spinal Nerves: Rami Most ventral rami form interlacing nerve networks called plexuses (cervical, brachial, lumbar, and sacral) Except T2–T12: Why is this?

Innervation of Skin What is a dermatome? Area of skin innervated by the cutaneous branches of a single spinal nerve All spinal nerves (except C1) participate in dermatomes Most dermatomes overlap Why would this be important? Prevents complete numbness in the event that a single spinal nerve is destroyed

Innervation of Joints Hilton’s law
Any nerve serving a muscle that produces movement at a joint also innervates the joint and the skin over the joint We don’t need to know the law, but it is a helpful concept for exam questions
