🗑
where does the spinal cord end   L1 and L2  
🗑
spinal nerves that suppply the upper limb   cervical enlargement (C4-T1)  
🗑
spinal nerves that supply the lower limbs   lumbar enlargement (T9-T12)  
🗑
point where the cord narrows just before ending   conus medullaris  
🗑
collection of rootlets that combine to make the lumbar and sacral nerves   cauda equina  
🗑
filament composed of pia matter than anchor the cord to the coccyx   filum terminale  
🗑
the outer layer of all CNS structures   dura mater  
🗑
spider-web like fimanetous layer of the meninges   arachnoid mater  
🗑
thin vascular layer of meninges that is adherent to contours of CNS   pia matter  
🗑
connections (made of pia matter) between the spinal cord and dura mater that anchor the cord   denticulate ligament  
🗑
three layers that make up the spinal meninges   pia mater, arachnoid and dura mater  
🗑
these are formed from dorsal and ventral roots joining   spinal nerves  
🗑
why are there 8 cervical spinal nerves when there are only 7 cervical vertebrae   C1 has a nerve above and below it  
🗑
What do the spinal nerves pass through   intervertebral foramen  
🗑
supply nerves fibers to the posterior body   dorsal ramus  
🗑
supply nerve fibers to the limbs and anterior body   ventral ramus  
🗑
which has myelin: gray matter or white matter   white matter  
🗑
which has no myelin: gray matter or white matter   gray matter  
🗑
the dorsal, lateral and anterior columns of white matter are filled with _____________   tracts  
🗑
the dorsal root of spinal nerves is all _______________ fibers   sensory  
🗑
the ventral root of spinal nerves is all ______________ fibers   motor  
🗑
What three things do the lateral/anterior columns of the spinal tracts trasmit   pain, pressure, general sensations  
🗑
what two things do the posterior columns of the spinal tracts transmit   propriorecption, movement  
🗑
what is proprioreception   body's awareness of self..where and what you are doing  
🗑
what two connections make up the spinal nerve   posterior root and anterior root  
🗑
the dorsal (posterior) root is made up of _______________ axons   sensory  
🗑
the ventral (anterior) root is made up of ____________ axons   motor

🗑
all nerves except thoracic nerves (do or do not) go directly to body strutures they supply   do not  
🗑

🗑
What plexus includes: roots, trunks, division, cords and branches   brachial plexus  
🗑
what vertebrae make up the lumbar plexus   L1-L4  
🗑
What plexus innvervates the abdominal wall, pelvic area, muscles of the thigh   lumbar plexus  
🗑
what vertebra make up the sacral and coccygeal plexuses   L4-L5 and S1-S4  
🗑
What plexus innervates the buttocks, perineum and lower limbs   sacral and coccygeal plexuses  
🗑
each spinal nerve contains sensory nerurons that serve a specific, predictable segment of the body   dermatomes  
🗑
