Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There is a total of 31 pairs of spinal nerves, each of which is connected to the vertebra. The spinal nerves are generally divided into two divisions, namely the ventral ramus and the dorsal ramus. T1 to L2 spinal nerves are divided into four divisions: gray ramus communicans, white ramus communicans, ventral ramus, and dorsal ramus.

Spinal nerves are called mixed nerves because they (a) are associated with a pair of dorsal root ganglia. (b) exit at intervertebral foramina. (c) contain sensory and motor fibers. (d) are associated with a pair of dorsal and ventral roots.
Match the cranial nerves to the body parts or functions that they affect. More than one nerve pair may correspond to the same structure or function.
