It weakens the spinal column and very likely, but not always places pressure on the spinal column. This creates levels of discomfort to severe chronic pain, numbness and possible loss of limb function.
The inferior boundary of the spinal cord typically ends at the level of the L1 or L2 vertebra in most adults.
The spinal cord ends at the level of the first lumbar vertebra, which is just below the level of the ribs.
L4
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 part at the fifth lumbar vertebra affects to lower legs, ankles, and feet, so the calcaneal tendon would be affected by the spinal cord at this location.
The hole in each vertebra forms the vertebral foramen through which the spinal cord passes. This structure provides protection and support for the spinal cord while allowing for nerves to branch out from the spinal cord to different parts of the body.
the skeletal system. the spinal column is made up of bones that protect the spinal cord called vertebrae
The vertebral foramina is where the spinal cord passes through the vertebrae (bone).
Lumbar Vertebra 3
The spinal cord starts at the base of the brain and extends down to the lower back, ending around the first or second lumbar vertebra.
Yes, you can fracture a vertebra without breaking the spinal cord.
Rodents have holes in the vertebra because this was the space that the spinal cord occupied.
