AFTER AGE 4 THE ___ __ CONTINUES TO GROW BUT THE __ __ DOES NOT. 1. VERTEBRAL COLUMN 2. SPINAL CORD
HOW DO THE DORSAL AND VENTRAL ROOTS ELONGATE after age 4 years old? the vertebral column keeps growing and carries dorsal root ganglion and spinal nerves farther away
By age 4 how is the growth of spinal cord aligned? segments of s.c. aligned with corresponding vertebrae
