  • In dorsal root, root ganglion is present. Both roots fuse in neural canal to form spinal nerve.
  • It comes out of vertebral column from inter vertebral foramen.
  • Out side vertebral column each spinal nerve is divided into three parts - 

                    (i) Dorsal branch or Ramus dorsalis

                    (ii) Ventral branch or Ramus ventralis
