Q147 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 2) · Zoology

Destruction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord would result in loss of:

  • Correct answer
    A
    Voluntary motor impulses
  • B
    Commissural impulses
  • C
    Integrating impulses
  • D
    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.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
