The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding what the ventral root of the spinal nerve has, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Spinal Nerves**: Spinal nerves are mixed nerves that contain both sensory and motor fibers. They are formed by the combination of the dorsal and ventral roots. 2. **Identifying the Roots**: - **Dorsal Root**: This root contains sensory fibers that carry information from the body to the spinal cord. - **Ventral Root**: This root contains motor fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord to the muscles. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Sensory Fibers**: This is incorrect because sensory fibers are found in the dorsal root, not the ventral root. - **Option 2: Motor Nerves**: This is correct as the ventral root is primarily composed of motor fibers. - **Option 3: Sensory and Motor Fibers Both**: This is incorrect because the ventral root does not contain sensory fibers. - **Option 4: None of These**: This is also incorrect since we have identified that the ventral root contains motor nerves. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that the ventral root of the spinal nerve has motor nerves. ### Final Answer: The ventral root of the spinal nerve has motor nerves. ---
