Spinal Cord

The tissue in the spinal cord is composed of nervous tissue.

CENTRAL

nope, it's tasteless and clear

That's called the cauda equina because it resembles a horses tail.

Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!

• cerebellum.
• because, it co-ordinates mascular activities when we walk , jump, run etc and maintain the balance of body.
• if we have uncoordinated movement , may be the cerebellum is damaged.

Your spinal cord is about the diameter of your finger.

I'm looking over a diagram and a chart listing all of the different segments of the adult spinal cord and I don't see any segment labeled "D". There's "C", "T", "L", and "S" but no "D".

There are 33 vertebrae in the spinal cord of a human being. They are broadly categorized into 5 areas. They are called the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum & coccyx vertebra. The upper 3 areas have a total of 24 vertebrae, which includes 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae & 5 lumbar vertebrae. Sometimes the lumbar region, may have an additional vertebra, it does happen - but it is rare. 5 vertebrae are fused together to form the sacrum & 3 vertebrae form the end of the spinal column which is the coccyx.

Meningitis is an infection of the fluid that surrounds the spine and brain.

your spine is located in between your cranium and your pelvis.

The peripheral nervous system, contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain. They also relay signals from sensory receptors that monitor external conditions to the central nervous system.

It is called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF.

the spinal cords role in reflexes is to help you move about when it is needed when reacting to a stimuli

The vertebral column continues to grow, extending beyond the cord. The end of the cord is visible as the conus medularis near L1 and the cauda equina extends the remainder of the column.

It depends on their height. It streches from your buttocks to your neck

The spinal cord in adults is approximately 42cm/17 inches long. It reaches from the foramen magnum of the skull (the very base of the skull) to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebrae which is about the same level as just below the ribs.

prognosis.depends on the location and extent of injury. Injuries of the neck above C4 with significant involvement of the diaphragm hold the gravest prognosis.85% of SCI patients who survive the first 24 hours are alive 10 years after their injuries.

The cervical enlargement occurs at vertebrae C3 through T2 and represents a bulge in the spinal cord that has increased neural input and output to the upper extremities.

malacia means softening

myel means bone marrow

The nervous system

It provides innervation to the pelvis, its organs and the lower limb

It's called 'cerebro-spinal fluid', and it's found around the cerebrum and spine.

There are four natural curvatures of the spine.
