What else can I help you with?
What is the thick column of nerve tissue that links the brain to most of the nerves called?
The Spinal Cord is the thick column of nerve tissue that links the brain to most of the nerves.
Where can you find nerve tissue?
You can find nerve tissue mostly in your spinal cord. Your spine protects your spinal cord. An other word for the spine is vertebral column.
What is the thickness of the spinal cord?
The spinal cord is made of nerve tissue, the spinal column surrounding it is made of bone
What is the column of nerve fibers in your backbone?
The column of nerve fibers in your backbone is called the spinal cord. It is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue that extends from the base of the brain down through the spinal canal of the vertebral column. The spinal cord plays a crucial role in transmitting information between the brain and the rest of the body.
What are the risks with meningocele or myelomeningocele?
neural tissue damage, swelling, and infection into the spinal fluid and brain with an opening in the spinal column
What do Disc provide what to the spinal column?
Discs provide cushioning between the vertebrae in the spinal column, allowing for flexibility and shock absorption in the spine. They also help maintain the space between the vertebrae, which is important for preventing nerve compression and maintaining spinal alignment.
What is the difference between spinal column and vertebral column?
because during the growth of human beings the vertebral column outgrows the spinal chord. that's why we don't find the spinal cord starting from lower lumbar region where lumbar puncture is done.
Where can you find nerves?
You can find nerve tissue mostly in your spinal cord. Your spine protects your spinal cord. An other word for the spine is vertebral column.
Is the spinal cord the same thing as the backbone?
The spinal cord is made up of nerve tissue. This is a thick bundle of neurons that runs through the spinal canal or the vertebral column. The vertebral column is the tower of vertebral bones typically called the "spine" by laymen. The spine is in fact the amalgamation of the two. In other words the spine is the vertebral column with the nervous spinal cord running through it.
Is the congenital herniation of the menings through a defect in the skull or spina column?
The congenital herniation of the meninges through a defect in the skull or spinal column is known as a meningocoele when it occurs in the spinal column and as a meningoencephalocele when it involves the skull. These conditions arise from neural tube defects during fetal development, leading to protrusion of the meninges and, in some cases, brain tissue. They can result in various neurological impairments depending on the severity and location of the defect. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are often necessary for managing these conditions.
What connective tissue has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi?
Osseous tissue (bone tissue) has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi. These canaliculi allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes, the bone cells housed in lacunae.
Spinal Cord?
The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals.
