The brain and the spinal cord together make up what is known as the?
The brain and spinal cord are the two components of the Central Nervous System, and the CNS is composed of mostly neurons, with oligodendrocytes to provide myelin sheaths, microglia as immune cells, and astrocytes for general support. Other cell types (ependymal cells, radial glia) also exist in isolated locations.

What part of the spinal cord contains neurons?
Motor neurons are located in the gray matter of the brain, and their axons stretch out to the spinal cord through the ventral root. they are located in the Ventral horn of the spinal cord,
Yes. Like the rest of their skeleton, the spine is made of cartilage. In the spine they have what researchers call a GPG, or general pattern generator. Instead of signals from the brain, it is the GPG which tells the shark to turn right, left, swim up or down. (reefannie)

helps you stand up so you don't be all floppy and flexable.
okay that's the way a 3rd grader views it ^^^
the spinal cord is the central nerve in the body. all information sent to limbs, fingers, and other controllable and non-controllable parts is sent to the spinal cord then to the brain, and vice-versa.
How does the arrangement of white matter and gray matter differ in the spinal cord and the brain?
The central area of the spinal cord is gray matter, and the outer surface of much of the brain consist of gray matter called cortex. (Anatomy and Physiology, Seeley Stephens Tate, 2008, p. 382)
What is the membrane covering the brain and spinal cord called?
The myelin sheath forms a protective layer over nerves. However, it is not present on all nerves. Retinal nerves for instance normally are devoid of myelin.
How does brainstem and spinal cord connect?
What a fascinating question. The answer is that there really is not part of the brain that connects with the spinal cord. The brain and the spinal cord are really the same thing only in different locations. They are both made of the same tissue, only arranged differently. The brain has more gray matter to do more processing, and the spinal cord has more white matter to transmit information quickly. In essence, they both have cognitive abilities because they both contain interneurons. Wow! Imagine that! Your spinal cord can think!
Made up of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body?
That would be the peripheral nervous system.
Why is the spinal cord and brain part of the CNS?
true or false
do the Spinal nerve branches begin in the neck and continue to the midspine?
What vertebrae openings provide an exit for spinal nerves?
There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves:
- Cervical- 8 pair
- Thoracic- 12 pair
- Lumbar- 5 pair
- Sacral- 5 pair
- Coccygeal- 1 pair
Most exit through their intervertebral foramen (openings in between and towards the back of the vertebra of the spinal column), spinal nerves are named according to the vertebrae they exit from.
The first pair of spinal nerves exits between the occipital bone of the skull and the first cervical vertebra.
The Sacral and Coccygeal nerves exit from the sacrum (the five fused vertebrae at the base of the spine) through the sacral foramina (openings or holes on running down along both sides of the sacrum).
