In a transverse
section through the spinal cord, the amount of gray matter is greatest in those segments
innervating the a
The amount of white matter is greatest in the most b
a: upper and lower limbs
b: rostral segments of the spinal cord and decreases as one moves causally down the spinal cord
A supplies the ventral horn and intermediate gray area,
plus the ventral and lateral funiculi bilaterally, as well as the ventral white commissure
a: The anterior spinal artery (ASA)
A supply most of the dorsal horn and dorsal funiculus
(dorsal column) unilaterally
The posterior spinal arteries (PSA)
The fibers of cranial nerve V, the trigeminal nerve, pass directly through the middle
cerebellar peduncle (MCP) on section
6
Section 1 is most known for
motor decussation
Section 2 is most known for
sensory decussation
Inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP), a major white matter bundle leading into cerebellum, begins at
Section 3
Middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) begins at
section 5
