Practical 6/7 Weigert Sections Flashcards
identify the weigert
lumbar cord
- fibre tracts are few
- large anterior and posterior horns due to lumbar plexus
1
fasciculus gracilis
2
posterior horn
3
anterior horn
identify weigert
thoracic cord
- Fibre tracts are larger
- Grey matter is scanty as no limb plexuses
1
fasciculus gracilis
2
fasciculus cuneatus
- dark tracts
- heavilty myelinated
- for fast conduction
3
posterior horn
4
anterior horn
5
lateral horn
- sympathetic neurons
indentify the weigert
cervical cord
- fibre tracts are larger
- grey matter is large
- brachial plexus
- no lateral horn
1
fasiculus gracilis
2
fasciculus cuneatus
3
posterior horn
4
anterior horn
identify weigert
lower/upper medulla
