Concept explainers
(a)
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the (a) anterior horn (b) lateral horn and (c) posterior horn. .
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the anterior horn.
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.
(b)
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the lateral horn.
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body. The dorsal, ventral, and posterior horns in the nervous system are present in the spinal cord. They are present in the gray matter region with gray commissures.
(c)
To identify:
The nervous system structures in the posterior horn.
Concept introduction:
The dorsal, ventral and posterior horns are located in the spinal cord. The signal impulse is transmitted ahead through the neurons, which send the impulses to various parts of the body.
