What else can I help you with?
The series of connective tissue membranes specifically associated with the spinal cord are?
Meninges
Describe the protective structures and the gross anatomical features of the spinal cord?
two types of connective tissue coverings - bony vertebrae and tough, connective tissue meninges - plus a cushion of cerebrospinal fluid surround and protect the delicate nervous tissue of the spinal cord.
What do the epithelial connective muscle and nerve tissue do in the human body?
Epithelial- skin, muscle-heart, connective-tendons, and nerve tissue-spinal cord
What three things help protect the spinal cord?
Vertebrae, connective tissue, and liquid fluids
What is a bundle of neurons held together by several layers of connective tissue?
A bundle of neurons held together by several layers of connective tissue is called a nerve. Nerves transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and various parts of the body, allowing for communication and coordination of bodily functions.
What band of connective tissues extends to the coccyx?
The band of connective tissue that extends to the coccyx is known as the "filum terminale." It is a delicate structure that is a continuation of the pia mater, one of the three meninges surrounding the spinal cord. The filum terminale anchors the spinal cord to the coccyx, providing stability to the spinal column.
What cells are in the spinal cord?
The tissue in the spinal cord is composed of nervous tissue.
What connective tissue is found in the umbilical cord?
mucoid connective tissue (Wharton jelly)areolar (?)
Nervous tissue that is surrounded by the backbones is the?
spinal cord
What is the Relation of meninges with foramen magnum?
The meninges are a layer of connective tissue that protects the central nervous system from the rest of the body. They surround the brain and continue through the foramen magnum to surround the spinal cord.
What tissue is in spinal cord?
nervous tissue
What level of organization best describes the spinal cord'?
The spinal cord is best described at the level of the organ. It is a complex structure composed of nervous tissue and connective tissue, functioning as a vital part of the central nervous system. The spinal cord plays a crucial role in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body, coordinating reflexes and motor functions.
