Question

If Sarah had a viral infection that affected neuron function in the ventral root of the same spinal nerve, how would the signs and symptoms be different than those she has now?

Answer 1

Each spinal nerve consists of a dorsal and ventral root

The ventral root sends impulses from the central nervous system to its corresponding parts of the body. It is also called the anterior root or motor.

The symptoms will be:

- Loss of movement of the extremities

- radiating back pain up to the glutes, and leg pain

- Tremor and fatigue
