question

The dorsal root of a nerve leading to the leg of a rat is severed. How will this affect the rat? How would the effect vary if the ventral root were severed instead?

category

biology

options

  1. Severing either the dorsal or ventral root will result in the rat's inability to regenerate the affected nerve.
  2. Severing the dorsal root will prevent sensory impulses from reaching the brain, resulting in loss of sensation and reflex action. Severing the ventral root will prevent motor impulses from reaching the muscles, resulting in inability to move the affected limb.
  3. Severing either root will have no effect on the rat.
  4. Severing the ventral root will cause the rat to lose control over its body temperature regulation in the affected limb.
  5. Severing the dorsal root will result in increased motor function in the affected limb, while severing the ventral root will lead to increased sensitivity to pain.
  6. Severing the ventral root will enhance the rat's ability to move the affected limb.
  7. Severing the dorsal root will enhance the rat's sense of touch.
  8. Severing the dorsal root will improve the rat's coordination and balance, while severing the ventral root will lead to a loss of muscular strength.
  9. Severing the ventral root will result in the loss of sensation in the affected limb, while severing the dorsal root will not affect the limb's functionality.
  10. Severing the dorsal root will cause paralysis in the affected limb, whereas severing the ventral root will have no significant effect on the rat's limb function.
