  2. Ventral ramus of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_ramus_of_spinal_nerve

    There are four main plexuses formed by the ventral rami: the cervical plexus contains ventral rami from spinal nerves C1–C4. Branches of the cervical plexus, which include the phrenic nerve, innervate muscles of the neck, the diaphragm, and the skin of the neck and upper chest. The brachial plexus contains ventral rami from spinal nerves C5 ...

  3. White ramus communicans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_ramus_communicans

    The white ramus communicans (pl.: rami communicantes) from Latin ramus (branch) and communicans (communicating) is the preganglionic sympathetic outflow nerve tract from the spinal cord. Each of the thoracic, and the first and second lumbar nerves contribute a white ramus communicans to the adjoining sympathetic ganglion , unlike the gray rami ...

  4. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    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 the first spinal nerve pair (C1), which emerges between the occipital bone and the atlas ...

  5. Ramus communicans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramus_communicans

    Ramus communicans (pl.: rami communicantes) is the Latin term used for a nerve which connects two other nerves, and can be translated as "communicating branch". Structure [ edit ]

  6. 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]

  7. Epaxial and hypaxial muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaxial_and_hypaxial_muscles

    The hypaxial muscles are located on the ventral side of the body, often below the horizontal septum in many species (primarily fish and amphibians). In all species, the hypaxial muscles are innervated by the ventral ramus (branch) of the spinal nerves, while the epaxial muscles are innervated by the dorsal ramus. [citation needed]

  8. 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.

  9. General visceral afferent fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_visceral_afferent...

    This means that a signal traveling in an afferent fiber will begin at sensory receptors in the afferent fiber's target organ, travel up to the ganglion where the sympathetic efferent fiber synapses, continue back along a splanchnic nerve from the ganglion into the sympathetic trunk, move into a ventral ramus via a white ramus communicans, and ...
