The Body Surface Region Monitored by a Specific Pair of Spinal

Question

The body surface region monitored by a specific pair of spinal nerves is called (a)________.
A) ramus communicantes
B) ventral ramus
C) dermatome
D) perineurium
E) tract

Accepted Answer

A dermatome is the body surface region monitored by a specific pair of spinal nerves. Ramus communicantes and ventral ramus are branches of spinal nerves but do not refer to specific body surface regions. Perineurium refers to the connective tissue covering of individual nerve fibers. A tract is a bundle of nerve fibers within the central nervous system, not a specific body surface region.
