The denticulate ligaments, I know, prevent lateral movement of the spinal cord within the thecal sac (as stated in Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals, 3rd Edition, page 211). I have yet to find if the denticulate ligaments are also responsible for longitudinal movements or not. I hope this helps.
What else can I help you with?
What movements can spinal cord do?
Spinal cord can not move actively. It moves passively along with the vertebral column.
What gives the spinal cord longitudinal support?
the filum terminale which extends from the conus medullaris.
What type of cell prevents infection in the brain and spinal cord?
Microglia
What type of the cell prevents infection of the brain and spinal cord?
Microglia
What prevents Side to side movement of the spinal cord?
The spinal cord runs though the vertebral canal which protects it and keeps it in place.
What is the relationship between spinal cord injury and spasticity?
Spinal cord injury prevents the brain from telling the muscle to relax. The result is prolonged muscle contraction or spasticity.
Why is it important to destroy the brain and spinal cord of a frog before conducting an experiment?
So the frog does not feel pain and it also prevents reflexs movements such as hopping.
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.
What structure is an inferior continuation of pia mater to the coccyx?
The inferior continuation of the pia mater to the coccyx is the filum terminale, a slender filament of connective tissue. It helps to anchor the spinal cord within the spinal canal and provides longitudinal support to the spinal cord.
What are the longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord compise major nerve pathways called?
The longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord that comprise major nerve pathways are called tracts. These tracts are organized based on their function and transmit information to and from different regions of the body to the brain.
What is the role of the spinal cord in the function of the nervous system?
The spinal cord serves as a pathway for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body. It plays a crucial role in coordinating reflexes and controlling voluntary movements.
Which is the correct spelling-spinal chord or spinal cord?
spinal cord
