a.             Spinal nerves are a fusion of dorsal and ventral roots.
b.             Temporary numbness may be associated with a transient ischemic attack.
c.             Motor neuron damage is not associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
d.             all of the above

Answer 1

B. Temporary numbness may be associated with a transient ischemic attack.

Explanation : Transient ischemic attack include symptoms of weakness on one side of the body, vision problems and slurred speech.

Spinal nerve is the mixed nerve formed by the fusion of sensory dorsal root and motor ventral root.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a group of rare neurological diseases that mainly involve the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. Voluntary muscles produce movements like chewing, walking, and talking.
