What is the medical term meaning around a vertebra?
The medical term for the region around a vertebra is "paravertebral." This refers to the area adjacent to the spine and includes muscles, nerves, and other structures close to the vertebral column.
How many spinal nerves exit the vertebral column?
seven.
Why is there a C8 vertebrae?
There is no C8/8th cervical vertebra. There are 7 cervical vertebra but there are 8 cervical nerves. C8 refers to the 8th cervical nerve which emerges just just below the C7.
What is the collection of spinal nerves at the inferior end of the vertebral column called?
Cuada equina
Does the thoracic and lumbar vertebra have a transverse foramina?
A transverse foramen is located on the transverse process of cervicle vertebra. The vertebral foramen is the large (more anterior) opening in the body of a vertebra through which the "spinal chord" passes. when the vertebra are stacked in the vertebral column, the series of vertebral foramen is called the vertebral canal.
Why does each vertebra have a hole that goes through it?
Combined vertebral foramina forms the spinal canal. The spinal cord of the central nervous system is located within that canal.
Sympathetic nerves exit the CNS through what nerves?
You have sympathetic trunks located by either side of vertebral column. You have thoracolumber out flow for sympathetic system. You do not have nerves for the same.
Openings provide exit of spinal nerves?
The spinal nerves exit from the vertebral column through openings between adjacent vertebrae. These openings, called intervertebral foramina, are located just in front of the facet joints. They exit from what are called intervertebral foramina (foramen means opening).
What is the difference in articulation between the skull and the vertebral column of a rat and a human?
The articulations of the human skull and vertebral column consist of a series of amphiarthrodial joints between the vertebral bodies, and a series of diathrodial joints between the vertebral arches. The articulations of the rat skull and vertebral column consist of cervical vertebrae which have small, transverse processes containing a hole through which nerves and blood vessels pass.
What provides a passageway for spinal nerves to exit the vertebral column and travel to other parts of the body?
intervertebral foramina
What is the primary function of the vertebral column?
The primary purpose of a vertebral column is to protect the group of nerves thus enclosed. Consider the fish, or most animals which have a horizontal column. This column also acts as an anchorage for muscles and tendons, thus facilitating movement of the organism. Only in a few animals, is the vertebral column approximately vertical, and in this attitude, it enhances the apparent height of the animal, thus offering the animal a superior height for vision.
What parts of the human body does the vertebral column protect?
spinal cord
