Spinal Cord Anatomy: Grey Matter and Anterior Horn Motor Neurons #3774352 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram depicts a transverse section of a spinal vertebra, emphasizing the butterfly-shaped grey matter at the center, surrounded by white matter. The anterior (ventral) horn contains the cell bodies of lower motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscles, while the posterior (dorsal) horn processes sensory input. Blue structures represent emerging ventral and dorsal nerve roots.

Used in medical education, neurology resources, and rehabilitation guides to explain spinal cord organization, motor neuron pathways, and conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury. Matches user intent for learning basic neuroanatomy or understanding motor deficits.
