Question
Answer
show Connects peripheral nerves and brain ; Superhighway of never tracts conducts sensory nerve impulses to brain and motor nerve impulses from brain to effectors;protected by vertebral column and meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and vertebral ligaments  
🗑
Meninges   show
🗑
Vertebra/vertebral canal   show
🗑
show Tube of dense irrecgular connective tissue forming a tough outer coverings; anchored to spinal cord at intervals by "denticulate ligaments"; keeps spinal cord in position during lateral movements  
🗑
show Middle "spider-web" layer, of thin collagen and elastic fibers; separated from dura mater by "Subdural Space"; contains interstitial fluid  
🗑
show Innermost layer; adheres directly to spinal cord & brain; Many blood vessesl that supply oxygen and nutrients to the spinal cord; separated from arachnoid mater by subarachnoid space; contains cerebrospinal fluid (site of spinal tap from L3-L5)  
🗑
Spaces   show
🗑
show lies b/w the wall of the vertebral canal and the dura mater; contains fat and connective tissue to protect the spinal cord  
🗑
show Removal of cerebrospinal fluid from the subarachnoid space b/w L3 and L5  
🗑
Superior End (cervical spinal cord)   show
🗑
Superior End (lumbar spinal cord)   show
🗑
Inferior End (spinal cord)   show
🗑
Conus medullaris   show
🗑
Filum terminale   show
🗑
show "horse's tail"; roots of lowest spinal nerves  
🗑
Internal Anatomy of spinal cord   show
🗑
show shaped like letter H; contains neuron cell bodies, neuroglia, and unmyelinated axons and dendrites; intergrates/summates excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials  
🗑
show contains central canal which extends length of spina cord; continus with 4th ventricle of brain  
🗑
White commissure   show
🗑
show Consists of myelinated and unmyelinated axons of sensory, motor, and inter-neurons that make up nerve tracts; nerve tracts are bundled into columns  
🗑
Ascending (SENSORY)tracts   show
🗑
show conduct nerve impulses down toward effectors  
🗑
show begins in the spinal ford and ends in the thalamus of the brain  
🗑
Corticospinal tract   show
🗑
show 31 pairs, exits spinal cord via the intervertebral foramina; connected to the spinal cord via a dorsal/posterior and ventral/anterior root  
🗑
Posterior/dorsal root   show
🗑
Ganglion   show
🗑
Anterior/ventral root   show
🗑
show 8 pairs (C1-C8)  
🗑
Thoracic Nerves   show
🗑
show 5 pairs (L1-L5)  
🗑
show 5 pairs (S1-S5)  
🗑
Coccygeal Nerve   show
🗑
Nerve Plexus   show
🗑
show supplies skin and muscles of head, neck, superior portion of shoulders and chest, and diaphragm; Phernic nerve; damage to cord above C3 causes respiratory arrest  
🗑
Phrenic Nerve (C3-C5)   show
🗑
show Supplies shoulder & upper limb ; injuries affect the sensations and movements of the upper limbs  
🗑
show deltoid & teres major ; part of brachical plexus  
🗑

🗑
show shoulder and forearm extensors; part of brachical plexus  
🗑
show flexors of wrist & hand; part of brachical plexus  
🗑
show supplies abdominal wall, external genitals & anterior/medial thigh; injury to femoral nerve causes inability to extend leg & loss of sensation in thigh; injury to obturator nerve causes paralysis of thigh adductors  
🗑
Sacral plexus   show
🗑
show supplies posterior thigh and everything below kness; cosists of common fibular and tibial nerve; part of sacral plexus  
🗑
show at the knee nerve splits into the tibial nerve and behind knee commom fibular nerve; injury of common fibular nerve is foot drop and numbness; injury in tibial nerve is the loss of function on anterior leg and foot  
🗑
show specific, predictable area of skin supplied by one spinal nerve; possible to locate damaged regions of spinal cord  
🗑
Spinal Reflexes   show
🗑
show simplest of nerve implulse patheays, containing only a few neurons; a receptor, a sensory neuron, and integration center, a motor neuron and an effector  
🗑
show contraction of a skeletal muscle in response to stretching of the muscle, preventing overstrectching and heling maintain muscle tone  
🗑
stretch reflex process   show
🗑
