dorsal root

An area innervated by a single dorsal root is called a dermatome.

Number three and four flagella are on either side of these two and have dorsal roots.

Sensory neurons provide feedback to the brain via the dorsal root.

Also used for dorsal root and ventral root in anatomy.

It tends to affect areas of skin that are associated with dorsal roots from the spine and is most often unilateral.

The dorsal root ganglia lie along the vertebral column by the spine.

The cell bodies of these primary neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia.

Dorsal root ganglia, posterior roots and peripheral nerves are normal.

The axons of dorsal root ganglion neurons are known as afferents.

Na1.7 channels are expressed at high levels in nociceptive neurons of the dorsal root ganglia.

In general these neurons have relatively large receptive fields (much larger than those of dorsal root ganglion cells).

KIF11 is also expressed in adult dorsal root ganglion neurons, although at a much diminished level.

Axons of these sensory neurons travel into the spinal cord via the dorsal roots.

Proximal to the spinal cord and line up symmetrically to form the dorsal root ganglia.

The action potential travels up an axon (the cell body of the neuron will be in a dorsal root ganglion).

If the dorsal root of a spinal nerve were severed it would lead to numbness in certain areas of the body.

This second set of symptoms is caused by damage to the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord.

The presence of these channels in the dorsal root ganglion gives reason to believe that other sensory neurons may contain them as well.

The medial division of the dorsal root contains myelinated fibres of larger diameter.

Half of the L1 dorsal root fibers are cut without EMG testing.

It is expressed in the dorsal root ganglion, trigeminal ganglion, and hair cells.

Examination of the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia revealed peripheral chromatolysis in these cells.

Nerve fibers at the dorsal roots (IV fiber).

The peripheral branch travels through the distal dorsal root into the spinal nerve all the way until skin, joint, and muscle.

Procedures include neurectomy, cordotomy, dorsal root entry zone lesioning, and cingulotomy.
