Nerve rootlets stemming from the spinal cord form dorsal (sensory) and ventral (motor) roots before these unite to form the spinal nerve.

Famous quotes containing the word human:
“I can’t make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
