This might help. Keep in mind questions must be posted word for word.

I would love to help but this site apparently only lets me look at a few files per day. A bit silly if you ask me. Since I can't actually view your file...

Pain fibers are type C, the smallest. While motor effectors (which move the body) are going to be alpha motor neurons.

Nerves exiting the spinal have segmental control (google dermatomes to give you a general idea)

But if there is any type of severing of the ventral roots off the spinal cord there would be no pain or movement from the entire area. Sorry I can't help more. Stupid website
