Posterior median sulcus
Anterior median fissure
Central canal: contains CSF for diffusion
Gray matter: somas, neuroglia, unmyelinated axons
Posterior gray horn: somatic and visceral sensory nuclei
Anterior gray horn: somatic motor nuclei
Lateral gray horn: throacic and lumbar only, visceral motor nuclei (ANS)
Gray commissure: axons for decussation
White matter: myelinated axons
Posterior white column/funiculus
Anterior white coulmn/funiculus
Lateral white column/funiculus
All 6 columns contain tracts:
Ascending tracts: sensory to brain
Descending tracts: motor from brain
Transverse tracts: decussation
Axons exit as spinal roots (dorsal + ventral = spinal nerve)
Dorsal root: sensory axons from receptor to CNS
Dorsal root ganglion: somas of the sensory neurons
Ventral root: motor axons from CNS to effectors
Spinal Cord Cross Sectional Anatomy
1. Dura Mater: outermost, dense collagen fibers, attaches to periosteum of
occipital bone and coccyx by coccygeal ligament. Surrounded by the
epidural space which contains blood vessels and adipose
2. Arachnoid: middle, two layers:
A. Arachnoid membrane: simple squamous epithelium, contacts dura mater
B. Arachnoid trabeculae: collagen and elastin fibers that bind to pia mater,
the fibers pass through the subarachnoid space which contains
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF: for shock absorption and diffusion medium)
3. Pia mater: innermost, fine mesh of collagen and elastin fibers bound to neural
tissue, attached to arachnoid trabeculae, has denticulate ligaments that
extend through arachnoid to dura mater to prevent lateral movement of the
cord
All three layers are continuous with cranial meninges of the same name and the
connective tissue around the spinal nerves
Spinal Meninges

Sacral plexus: nerves L4 -S4, innervate lower limbs
Lumbar plexus: nerves T12-L4, innervate pelvic girdle and lower limbs
Brachial plexus: nerves C5-T1 , innervate pectoral girdle and upper limbs
Cervical plexus: nerves C1-C5, innervate muscles of neck and diaphragm
Nerve plexus = interwoven network of nerves
Spinal Nerve Plexus
1. Epineurium: outermost layer, dense collagen fibers
2. Perineurium: partitions that extend inward from epineurium and divide axons into bundles
called fascicles
3.Endoneurium: innermost layer, thin collagen fibers that surround each axon
Nerve Structure: dorsal root + ventral root + blood vessels + connective tissue
Neural Circuits
divergence + serial processing
(allow multiple things to occur at once)
one neuron/pool to many
(send single input to multiple locations in brain)
stepwise, one neuron/pool to
the next
(allow linear transmission
from one location to next)
many neurons/pools to one
(allow conscious and subconscious control
of same effector)
Amy Warenda Czura, Ph.D.
positive feedback loop
(continues signaling until inhibited by
another neuron)

Reflex Arc
1. Stimulus activates receptor
-receptor = specialized cell or dendrites of
sensory neuron
-receptor responds to a particular type of stimuli
2. Sensory neuron is activated
-stimulation causes action potential on axon of
sensory neuron
-nerve impulse travels into spinal cord via dorsal
root
3. Information processing
-simple case: sensory neuron synapses on motor
neuron
-more complex: sensory neuron synapses on an
interneuron
-sensory neuron causes EPSP which is integrated
with other stimuli
4. Motor neuron is activated
-motor neuron is stimulated to threshold
-action potential travels down motor neuron
axon to effector
5. Peripheral effector responds
-neurotransmitters released by motor neuron
trigger events in effector
(e.g. muscle contraction)
