In the spinal cord where is T4?
T4 stands for the 4th vertebra of the thoracic vertebrae.
There are 3 major sections of the spinal cord.
The first one is Cervical, it numbers from C1 to C7.
The second one is Thoracic, it numbers from T1 to T12.
The third one is Lumbar, it numbers from L1 to L5.
When you give the abbreviation of the vertebra that you want to talk about, you always give the first letter of the section (C/T/L), then a number after the letter. The number represents the position of the vertebra in that section.
Here is good way to remember how many bones there are in each section:
You eat breakfast at 7 am, lunch at 12 pm, and dinner at 5 pm.
From top to bottom, you have 7 bones in the cervical vertebrae; 12 in lumber vertebrae; 5 in lumbar.
How is the fluid extracted during a paracentesis tested?
Fluid is sent to the laboratory for testing, where cancer and blood cells can be detected, infections identified, and chemical analysis can direct further investigations.
What are recognized neuronal circuit patterns?
convergent, divergent, reverberating and parallel processing
What is the spinal cord terminus?
Not much information here in context to efficiently answer the question but I will try.
The spinal cord generally ends (terminates) around the L1 vertebral level in the lumbar spinal column give or take a level or so in normal humans. After this, small spinal nerves continue down in a sac and exit the lumbar and sacral spine to innervate the pelvis and lower extremities.

What part of the spinal cord is affected by central cord syndrome?
The segment of spinal cord affected by central cord syndrome is the cervical segment, the part of the spinal cord that is encased within the first seven vertebrae, running from the base of the brain and into the neck.
Information on L23 L45 L5 S1 In The Spine
False. Spinal cord is not there at this level. There is a structure called as cauda equina. It is like the tail of the horse.
Why superficial reflexes are lost in upper motor neuron lesion?
because the superficial reflex fibres also come through the umn fibres along with it
Is it true sheltie breeders cut their vocal cords for shows?
No, that's ridiculous! Maybe some crazy person tried it, but good breeders never do such things to their dogs.
It is called debarking and many very good breeders do practice this due to less noise for the community
Do peripheral nerves pass from the spinal cord into the limbs?
Yes, it does. So do the nerves branching from the brain.
What occurrs when there is damage to ventral horn of spinal cord?
the person lost motor function and his muscles paralised

Intervertebral foramina
What is the reflex action when someone touches a hot pan?
They quickly move their hand or arm, and scream 'aarrrgghhh!!!'
Or someone clever would go to the tap and immeidately run their hand or arm under cold water, until the pain starts to go away. This is to prevent any swelling or burns
