Detailed explanation-1: -The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerve tissue. In an adult, it’s about 18 inches long and 1/2-inch thick. It extends from the lower part of the brainstem down the back. The spinal cord has three sections that run the length of the spine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The answer is (A): all spinal nerves are mixed. All spinal nerves carry both motor and sensory fibers. Motor fibers exit the spinal cord via the ventral roots, whereas the sensory fibers enter the spinal cord through the dorsal roots.
Detailed explanation-3: -The human spinal cord is divided into segments where pairs of spinal nerves (mixed; sensory and motor) form. Six to eight motor nerve rootlets branch out of right and left ventralateral sulci in a very orderly manner. Nerve rootlets combine to form nerve roots.
