The correct Answer is:
To determine which structure is purely sensory, we need to analyze the given options one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Option: Ramus Dorsalis** - The Ramus Dorsalis serves the dorsal portion of the trunk and contains both sensory and motor fibers. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect because it is not purely sensory. 2. **Evaluate the Second Option: Dorsal Root** - The Dorsal Root is known to carry sensory information from the body to the spinal cord. It does not contain any motor fibers. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct as it is purely sensory. 3. **Evaluate the Third Option: Spinal Nerve** - Spinal Nerves are mixed nerves, meaning they contain both sensory and motor fibers. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect because it is not purely sensory. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Option: Ventral Roots** - Ventral Roots contain motor fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord to the muscles. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect as it is not purely sensory. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Dorsal Root**, as it is the only structure that is purely sensory. ---
