	Dorsal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In anatomy, the dorsal is the side in which the backbone is located.
		Examples of this include the dorsal fin, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, dorsal nerve, dorsum sellae, dorsal arch, dorsalis pedis arteries, dorsal ramus, dorsal respiratory group, dorsal venous arch, and dorsiflexion among others.
		In neurology, dorsal is an outdated term for the medial longitudinal fasciculus in the neural arch.

	Dorsal root ganglion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) from a chicken embryo (around stage of day 7) after incubation overnight in NGF growth medium stained with anti-neurofilament antibody.
		In anatomy and neurology, the dorsal root ganglion is a nodule on a dorsal root that contains cell bodies of neurons in afferent spinal nerves.
		All of the axons in the dorsal root convey somatosensory information, bringing sensory information into the brain and spinal cord.

		It is an area of large cells found lateral to the dorsal columns and in the ventral corner of the dorsal horn.

		The dorsal funiculus (dorsal columns) are made up of thickly myelinated fibers whose cell bodies (like all sensory fibers) are in the dorsal root ganglia which lies near the intervertebral foramen.
		No, the answer is C. The dorsal root fibers carrying these impulses ascend or descend a few segments in the dorsal funiculus and then synapse in laminae V to VII of Rexed.
		No, the answer is A. A lesion of the dorsal root ganglia would block the impulses of the nerve before they reach the spinal cord, thus the sensory loss would be ipsilateral.

	Musculoskeletal Reflexes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This dorsal root consists of sensory fibers derived from both cutaneous (skin) and deep (muscles and tendons) origins in the periphery.
		Dorsal roots fibers are distributed in varying numbers to most regions of the spinal gray on the side of entry.
		The dorsal horns (alar plate derivatives) contain neurons which receive incoming sensory fibers in dorsal roots and modify the information brought to them, and either send fibers to local spinal motoneurons for spinal reflex mechanisms or project ascending fibers to higher centers of the nervous system.

		Along the dorsal root is a dorsal root ganglion, composed of cell bodies of sensory neurons.
		That is, the dorsal ramus and its branches innervate the muscles and skin of the back, while the ventral ramus supplies the skin and muscle of the side and anterior of the body.
		Also, the dorsal root ganglion is actually at the extreme lateral edge of each dorsal root, very near the spinal nerve and within the intervertebral foramen.

		Dorsal column nuclei neurons recorded in a brainstem-spinal cord preparation: characteristics and their responses to dorsal root stimulation.
		Recordings were obtained from dorsal column nucleus (DCN) neurons in a neonatal rat brainstem-spinal cord preparation to study their basic electrophysiological properties and responses to stimulation of a dorsal root.
		Dorsal root stimulation elicited EPSPs in all neurons with a very low variability in onset latency and an ability to follow 100 Hz stimulation, indicating that they were mediated by activation of a monosynaptic pathway.

		Sensitization of dorsal root reflexes in vitro and hyperalgesia in neonatal rats produced by capsaicin.
		The maturation of dorsal root reflexes (DRRs) in lumbar roots was characterized in neonatal rats at 1, 2 and 3 weeks after birth using an in vitro isolated spinal cord preparation with attached dorsal roots and dorsal root ganglia (DRG).
		Changes of DRRs in rats of increasing age were also tested by administration of capsaicin to the DRG and related to spinal mechanisms of hyperalgesia by defining the behavioral responses of neonatal rats to intradermal capsaicin.
