what happens if a ventral root is severed
If there will be damage in the in a particular area in the spinal column, the consequence will be on the body parts where the connection is linked. For example, when the ventral root of the spinal nerve is severed, the affected areas will be the peripheral muscles of a particular body area. It will not affect other body functions such as sensation which is controlled by the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves. The ventral root generally controls the muscles and movements.
