The ________ consists of motor neurons exiting the CNS and leading to effectors.

A) dorsal root
B) dorsal root ganglia
C) filum terminale
D) ventral root

The ventral root is responsible for carrying motor neurons away from the CNS and towards effectors, while the dorsal root carries sensory information towards the CNS. The dorsal root ganglia are clusters of sensory neurons located on the dorsal roots, and the filum terminale is a thin strand of fibrous tissue that extends inferiorly from the end of the spinal cord.
