The dorsal root of spinal nerve (or posterior root of spinal nerve) is one of two roots which emerge from the spinal cord. It emerges directly from the spinal cord, and travels to the dorsal root ganglion.Nerve fibres with the ventral root then combine to form a spinal nerve.The dorsal root transmits sensory information, forming the afferent sensory root of a spinal nerve.t emerges directly from the spinal cord, and travels to the dorsal root ganglion.
