Chapter 14, Problem 12RFT
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.
