Question

Cell bodies of motor nerve fibres occur in

• A. Dorsal root of spinal nerve
• B. Dorsal horn of spinal cord
• C. Ventro-lateral horn of spinal cord
• D. Ventral root of spinal cord

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ventro-lateral horn of spinal cord

C. Ventro-lateral horn of spinal cord

Reason: A motor neuron is an example of a neuron that carries the response to the effector organ. The motor neuron's cell body is located in gray matter in the ventrolateral horn, and its long axon leaves the cord via the ventral root and continues on to a muscle where it makes a neuromuscular junction. So the correct option is C.
