Intro Flashcards
Anterior roots carry efferent axons from cell bodies,located in the?
Anterior or lateral horns which attach to spinal cord by a series of rootlets
Anterior roots ( ventral or motor roots) carry what axons?
Efferent axons
The posterior roots ( dorsal or sensory) carry axons from cell bodies located in the?
Posterior root ( dorsal root) spinal ganglion
The posterior root separates into rootlets that attach to the cord at the?
Posterior lateral sulcus
The spinal ganglia are located inside or medial to the?
Intervertebral foramen beyond the dura mater
C1 andC2 ganglia located on the vertebral arches
True
Sacral ganglia located within the?
Vertebral canal
The coccygeal located inside?
Dura mater
Mixed spinal nerve, meningeal branch is given off at all spinal levels
True
Renter the vertebral canal thru if and divide into what?
Ascending, descending, transverse branches
These branches provide what info?
Somatosensory and sympathetic supply to dura, blood vessels, periosteum, intervertebral disc in the ant and lateral portions of the canal.
The mixed spinal nerve divides into?
Posterior ( dorsal ) ramus and anterior( ventral) ramus
The posterior ramus spirits into what branches?
Lateral and medial except C1
Posterior ramus is smaller than the anterior ramus except C1 S4 S5
True
The posterior ramus has motor innervation to? And sensory to?
Deep back muscles, skin on either side of spine
The anterior ramus has motor innervation to?
Anterior and lateral trunk muscles, skeletal muscles
Anterior rami contribute to the great plexus
True
The anterior ramus provides sensory info to?
Skin of extremity as well as lateral and anterior trunk
Sympathetic chain communicans are located?
Medial to the bifurcation of the mixed spinal nerve
White ramus communicans carry unmyelinated axons
False myelinated
White ramus communicans contain cell bodies in the?
Lateral horn cells at cod levels T1-L2
White ramus communicans carry preganglonic sympathetic fibers enter sympathetic chain and do what?
Synapse or pass thru splanchnic nerves
Gray ramus communicans carry what axons?
Unmyelinated postganglionic sympathetic axons from cell bodies in the sympathetic chain to the spinal nerve
