Destruction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord would result in loss of:
Destruction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord would result in loss of:
Voluntary motor impulses
Commissural impulses
Integrating impulses
Sensory impulses
Solution
The anterior horn cells of the spinal cord consist of motor neurons. These neurons are efferent in nature. They are responsible for carrying voluntary motor impulses from the brain to the organs. Thus, destruction to the anterior horns would result in loss of voluntary motor impulses.
