Dermatomes are areas of skin innervated by a single spinal nerve. The dorsal rami supply the skin of the back, and the ventral rami supply the skin of the anterior and lateral parts of the body. This shows the segmental division of dermatomes. Gray and white rami are related to autonomic nervous system (sympathetic) connections and not directly to the segmental sensory dermatome distribution. Dorsal and gray rami or ventral and white rami or gray and white rami do not correctly represent the main spinal - nerve - branch relationship for dermatome segmental supply.
