The correct option about spinal nerves is:
Correct answer: E. C and D both
- A. 33 pairs
- B. Mostly mixed nerves
- C. The dorsal root contains sensory neurons
- D. The ventral root contains motor neurons
- E. C and D both
Explanation
As the dorsal root emerges from the intervertebral neural foramina, it forms the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The DRG contains the cell body of the sensory neurons. These neurons relay sensory neural messages from the periphery to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The ventral (anterior) or motor root consists of axons from the lower motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. The ventral roots typically have fewer fibers than the dorsal roots, but they are of a larger caliber because they contain thick axons originating from the large lower motor neurons.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
