The ventral horn is a region located in the spinal cord, specifically in the gray matter. It contains motor neurons that send signals to skeletal muscles, facilitating voluntary movement. The ventral horn is crucial for motor control and is involved in reflex actions. In the spinal cord, the ventral horn is situated towards the front (ventral) side, while the dorsal horn, which processes sensory information, is located at the back. Together, these horns play a vital role in the nervous system's ability to coordinate movement and respond to sensory stimuli, contributing to overall body function.
