What else can I help you with?
Is the brain posterior to the spinal cord?
No,the brain lies superior(ie,on top) of the spinal cord.
What lies just below the medulla?
The spinal cord lies just below the medulla oblongata.
What mechanical layer lies above the cord?
The mechanical layer that lies above the spinal cord is the vertebral column, commonly known as the spine. It consists of vertebrae that provide structural support and protect the spinal cord. Additionally, surrounding the spinal cord are protective membranes called meninges, which include the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. These structures collectively ensure the integrity and safety of the spinal cord within the vertebral column.
Is the stomach anterior to the spinal cord?
The spinal cord is posterior to the chest.
The gray matter of the spinal cord?
Is located within the spinal cord and contains unmyelinated fibers.
Nervous tissue within the spinal cavity?
Spinal cord
What organ does the backbone protect?
The spinal cord is contained within the vertebral column (backbone). Ribs attach to the vertebral column, so in that sense, you could say the contents of the thoracic cavity (lungs and heart) are also protected by the vertebrae, as ribs arise from the vertebrae. But only the spinal cord lies within the backbone itself. It does not directly protect any organs.
Where is the white matter located within the spinal cord?
The white matter is located on the outer part of the spinal cord.
What part of the spinal cord is affected by central cord syndrome?
The segment of spinal cord affected by central cord syndrome is the cervical segment, the part of the spinal cord that is encased within the first seven vertebrae, running from the base of the brain and into the neck.
What is the spinal condition where spinal cord grows and tightens the spinal cord?
Tethered Spinal Cord is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the spinal column and that causes the cord to become stretched.
Where does the spinal cord have gray matter?
The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
Spinal reflexes are produced in what?
Introduction. Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons
