  2. Dorsal root of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_root_of_spinal_nerve

    The dorsal root of spinal nerve (or posterior root of spinal nerve or sensory root) [1] is one of two "roots" which emerge from the spinal cord. It emerges directly from the spinal cord, and travels to the dorsal root ganglion. Nerve fibres with the ventral root then combine to form a spinal nerve.

  3. Sensory neuronopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuronopathy

    Sensory neuronopathy (also known as sensory ganglionopathy) is a type of peripheral neuropathy that results primarily in sensory symptoms (such as parasthesias, pain or ataxia) due to destruction of nerve cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion. [1] The causes of nerve damage are grouped into categories including those due to paraneoplastic ...

  4. Dorsal root ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_root_ganglion

    A dorsal root ganglion (or spinal ganglion; also known as a posterior root ganglion [1]) is a cluster of neurons (a ganglion) in a dorsal root of a spinal nerve. The cell bodies of sensory neurons known as first-order neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia. [2] The axons of dorsal root ganglion neurons are known as afferents.

  5. Tabes dorsalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabes_dorsalis

    Tabes dorsalis is a late consequence of neurosyphilis, characterized by the slow degeneration (specifically, demyelination) of the neural tracts primarily in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord (nerve root). These patients have lancinating nerve root pain which is aggravated by coughing, and features of sensory ataxia with ocular ...

  6. Nerve root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_root

    A common cause of damage to the nerve roots is spine lesions, such as prolapse of the nucleus pulposus, spinal tuberculosis, cancer, inflammation, spinal tabs. Root pain syndromes, known colloquially as radiculitis and sciatica, are among the most common symptoms caused by damage to the nerve root. Radiculopathy is commonly called the "root ...

  7. Dorsal ramus of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_ramus_of_spinal_nerve

    The dorsal ramus of spinal nerve, posterior ramus of spinal nerve, or posterior primary division is the posterior division of a spinal nerve. The dorsal rami provide motor innervation to the deep (a.k.a. intrinsic or true) muscles of the back, and sensory innervation to the skin of the posterior portion of the head, neck and back. [1] A spinal ...

  8. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    The dorsal root is the afferent sensory root and carries sensory information to the brain. The ventral root is the efferent motor root and carries motor information from the brain. The spinal nerve emerges from the spinal column through an opening (intervertebral foramen) between adjacent vertebrae. This is true for all spinal nerves except for ...

  9. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column–medial...

    The body is situated in the dorsal root ganglion, with one axon traveling peripherally to tissue, and one traveling into the dorsal column. On the right is a bipolar neuron . When an action potential is generated by a mechanoreceptor in the tissue , the action potential will travel along the peripheral axon of the first-order neuron.
