Car accident spinal cord was severed at the 12th level thoracic Spinal cord reflexes below this level are absent What is this called?
paraplegia
What part of the body has 13 parts?
The human body has 13 thoracic vertebrae, which are located in the chest area and help protect the spinal cord. Each thoracic vertebra is associated with a rib, totaling 12 pairs with one additional vertebra called T1.
On a MRI lumber spine report What is T11-12 and T12-L1?
T11-12 and T12-L1 refer to the intervertebral disc spaces and the adjacent vertebrae in the thoracic and lumbar spine. T11-12 indicates the space between the 11th thoracic vertebra (T11) and the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12), while T12-L1 indicates the space between the 12th thoracic vertebra (T12) and the 1st lumbar vertebra (L1). These designations are important for assessing disc health, potential herniation, and other spinal conditions in those specific regions.
Where is T3 on spinal cord and how does work?
It is the third thoracic (chest) vertebrae where spinal cord nerves branch out to control functions in and around the chest. You also have cervical (Neck) and lumbar(lower back) vertebra.
What is spinal vertebrae called?
Spinal vertebra are called just that. There are subdivisions: cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), and lumbar (lower back). There are two sets that have fused in the adult: the sacrum and the coccyx (tail bones).
What is a vertebrae better known as?
a vertebra is more closely defined according to what part of the spine it's in. It may be cervical (neck), thoracic (chest), lumbar (abdomen), or sacral (hips).
Is nervous tissue housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra?
No, nervous tissue is not housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra. The neural canal, or vertebral canal, contains the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system, as well as spinal nerves and their surrounding protective membranes. Nervous tissue itself is found in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves but is not located within the vertebral canal itself. Instead, the canal serves as a protective passage for these structures.
Where is the T3 spinal bone on a dog?
The T3 vertebra is the third thoracic (chest) vertebra when counting from the skull towards the tail. The dorsal process (the bony point that comes upward towards the skin) will be around the top edge of the scapula (shoulder bone).
What is the function of thoracic vertebrae?
The thoracic vertebrae have several functions, but the two primary functions are as follows: 1) protect the spinal cord 2) serve as attachment points for the rib cage (which protects the vital organs)
Where is the sympathetic nervous system located?
it's located in the spinal cord of the first thoracic vertebra (T1-T12) to the fourth lumbar vertebra (L1-L4)
Sympathetic nerves may leave the spinal cord at which vertebra?
Preganglionic sympathetic axons leave the spinal cord throughout the thoracic spine and the upper lumber spine (T1-L2).These preganglionic sympathetic axons exit the spinal canal within the anterior primary ramus and then quickly separate to travel via the white ramus communicans to the ipsilateral sympathetic trunk.
Are the ribs attached to the spinal column in any way?
Yes, the ribs are attached to the spinal column at the back through the costovertebral joints, specifically the head of each rib articulates with the corresponding thoracic vertebra.
