Transcript
Spinal cord connects the brain to the PNS
Spinal cord is surrounded by
bone for protection
How big is the actual cord?
Very small!!! Look for the H!!
H is the gray matter
• The spinal cord exits the skull through a
hole known as the foramen magnum.
Extends downward
through a canal within the backbone
Spinal Cord
Contains 2 types of nerve tissue---gray and white matter
1. White
matter is myelinated (W/M)
– made mostly of interneurons
2. Gray matter is central and
unmyelinated
– made of cell bodies of motor neurons
