no . the spinal cord starts in the 1st cervical vertebra . but it is stopped in the 2nd lumber vertebra . from this site many nerve fibres come out from the cord . these are known as cauda equina . the conical shaped end of the spinal cord is called CONUS MEDULARIS
The spinal cord extends from the brain stem through the spine, then neurons extend from the cord to all parts of the body. So, the spinal cord connects to the body at the brain, because it's essentially just an extension of the brain stem.
There is a hole in the middle of each vertebrae called a foramen. So the spinal cord passes through the vertibral foramen.
No, not the body, the spinal (spinous) foramen, the open area posterior to the body of the vertebrae.
No it does not. False.
The large hole located between the body and the spinous process. The spinal cord passes through this foramen.
The Axis is the second vertebra in your spinal column right at the top.
The spinal cord ends at the level of the first lumbar vertebra, which is just below the level of the ribs.
Combined vertebral foramina forms the spinal canal. The spinal cord of the central nervous system is located within that canal.
No. The spinal cavity is part of the Dorsal cavity, which also includes the cranial cavity. The spinal cavity is the space in vertebrae(spinal bones) through which the spinal cord passes.
The vertebral body of the vertebra is the scientific name for the middle. The spinal canal is anterior to it.
The dorsal cavity is located in the skull and within the spinal column. It is divided into the cranial and spinal cavities, which protect the nervous system.
The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae. It runs through a channel called the vertebral foramen, which is located above the body of the vertebra and below the spinous process.
No. A vertebrate is an animal that has a spinal column (vertebra) inside it's body. A grasshopper is an insect and has an outer shell.
The Neural Foramen are grooves in the vertebra, just behind the vertebral body that the nerves that branch off the spinal cord exit the spinal canal from. If they are grossly patent they are open, and free from obstruction, so there is no compression of the nerves that course through these channels.
It bears the compressive forces that hold up the bodies weight
Spinal cavity is one of the cavities in human body. It is a space between vertebrae through which spinal chord passes. It is also known as spinal canal or vertebral canal.
