Space that situated between the wall of vertebral canal and spinal dura mater .
It also contain fats.
What is spinal cord enveloped of
S.C is enveloped by meninges
Whatis subarachnoid space ?
Space that is surrounding the spinal cord .
Contaon CSF
Dorsal Spinal Root + Ventral spinal roots =?
Spinal nerves
What is intervertebral foramen ?
Foramen that located between spinal vertebrae
What is transverse foramen ?
An opening, but occupied by vertebral artery and vein
What is intervertebral disc ?
Lies between the adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column.
Each disc form is fibrocartilagous joint.
To allow slight movement of the vertebrae , act as ligament to hold the vertebrae together, shock absorber for spine.
What is ventral root ?
Receive information from brain motor cortex .
Send skeletal muscle ->trigger voluntary movement.
What is dorsal horn ?
To take e3nsory information then send it to brains sensory cortex
What is lateral horn ?
Help to regulate processes like urination , digestion , heart rate .
What is spinal nerve ?
Nerve that leaving the spinal cord.
Funct Ventral root ?
Carries motor fibre.
Funct ventral ramus ?
Innervate limbs and anterior torso
Funct of dorsal ramus ?
Innervate the back
Funct dorsal root ?
Recieve sensory fibres
