A

The end of the nerves in a motor unit is called the motor end plate

60
Q

Where do somatic sensory nerves emerge from the spinal cord from?

A

Somatic nerves emerge from the dorsal (posterior) nerve root

61
Q

A

Somatic motor nerves emerge from ventral (anterior) nerve root

62
Q

Where do motor and sensory nerves join after travelling through the dorsal and ventral nerve roots?
