If you are maintaining your current body weight, you are in caloric balance. If you need to gain weight or to lose weight, you'll need to tip the balance scale in one direction or another to achieve your goal.
The ventral posterior nucleus is the somato-sensory relay nucleus in thalamus of the brain. Ventral posterolateral nucleus, which receives sensory information from the body. 2  Ventral posteromedial nucleus, which receives sensory information from the head and face via the trigeminal nerve.
The ventral root contains efferent (motor) fibers that carry messages from the spinal cord to the effectors. Cell bodies of the efferent fibers reside in the spinal cord gray matter. These roots become nerves that innervate (transmit nerve impulses to) muscles and organs throughout the body.
