Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spinal root directional terms are typically described using the terms dorsal (referring to the back) and ventral (referring to the front). Alternatively, they may also be described as sensory (carrying information towards the central nervous system) and motor (carrying information away from the central nervous system). Anterior and posterior, and superior and inferior are not commonly used to describe spinal roots. Distal and proximal are typically used to describe the distance between two structures, rather than their directionality.
