31 pairs with
anterior and
posterior root
C1 often doesn’t
have posterior root
Spinal cord
enlarged in C5 – T1
and L2 – S3 levels
Spinal cord ends at
L1 vertebral level

Dermatomes & Myotomes
|
|
Dermatome – an
area of skin
innervated by a
single posterior root
Myotome – a group
of muscles
innervated by a
single anterior root
