Exercise 19 Spinal Cord & Spinal Nerves Figure 19.1a Gross structure of the spinal cord, dorsal view. Spinal Cord Extends from Foramen magnum L1-L2 @ conus medullaris Filum terminale Fibrous extension of meninges, blends into coccygeal ligament Attaches to coccyx Cervical spinal nerves C1-C8 Thoracic spinal nerves T1- T12 Conus medullaris Cauda equina Filum terminale Cauda equina “horse’s tail” lumbar & sacral Lumbar spinal nerves nerves’ long L1- L5 ventral & dorsal Sacral spinal nerves roots… S1- S5 Coccygeal spinal nerve Co1 The spinal cord and its nerve roots, with the bony vertebral arches removed. The dura mater and arachnoid mater are cut open and reflected laterally. Figure 19.1a Gross structure of the spinal cord, dorsal view. Medulla oblongata (brainstem) Cervical spinal nerves C1-C8 Thoracic spinal nerves T1- T12 Conus medullaris Cauda equina Conus medullaris tapered inferior end Filum terminale Lumbar spinal nerves L1- L5 Sacral spinal nerves S1- S5 Coccygeal spinal nerve Co1 The spinal cord and its nerve roots, with the bony vertebral arches removed. The dura mater and arachnoid mater are cut open and reflected laterally. Spinal Cord—Similar to Brain Gray matter Central in spinal cord White matter External in spinal cord Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) • Fills meninges Proteins, nutrients— continuous circulation Meninges: surrounding membranes – – – • • • Pia mater: innermost Arachnoid: middle Dura mater: outermost Extend beyond the spinal cord Continuous with meninges of brain Physical stability, shock absorption Pia mater Arachnoid mater Spinal dura mater Figure 19.2a Anatomy of the human spinal cord. Spinal Cord—Similar to Brain Epidural space (contains fat) Pia mater Arachnoid mater Dura mater Spinal meninges (contains CSF) Bone of vertebra Dorsal root ganglion Spinal nerve Body of vertebra Epidural space between dura mater & walls of vertebrae areolar tissue, blood vessels, adipose tissue (protection) Figure 19.5 Human spinal nerves.
