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

Options

  1. AVoluntary motor impulses
  2. BCommissural impulses
  3. CIntegrating impulses
  4. DSensory impulses

Correct answer

A. Voluntary motor impulses

Step-by-step 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.
