Spinal Chords/Nerves

QuestionAnswer
anatomical segmentation of the spinal cord C7, T12, L5, S5, starts at foramen magnum, has spinal cord segments with posterior and anterior spinal nerves, and ends at conus medullaris/L2
relationship between the spinal cord segments and the vertebral bodies. pairs of spinal nerves help determine spinal segments, nerves enter through vertebral bodies and protects
functional significance of the cervical and lumbar cord enlargements higher number of neurons present
anatomically speaking, why are the enlargements present associated with the limbs
"reflex" stereotyped response to a given sensory input
spinal reflex reflex with circuitry contained within the spinal cord
spinal nerve - sensory posterior horn, posterior funiculus, posterior root, PRG is primary afferent
spinal nerve - motor anterior horn
spinal cord reflex arc receptor, afferent neuron (sensory input) with PRG, interneuron, efferent neuron (autonomic and motor), and target organ (largely skeletal muscle - could also be glads or smooth muscle)
fiber types for motor axons anterior
fiber types for sensory axons posterior
What is the functional significance of increasing diameter and myelination? makes processing faster
sensory primary afferent - sensory info into cord, ascending tracts - info to the brain
efferents lower motor neurons and autonomics - axons go to the periphery, depending tracks - instructions go to efferents
integrative reflexes and program pattern generators
spinal cord segment 1 pair of spinal nerves
spinal nerves posterior dorsal root, anterior ventral root
end of cord conus medullaris
2 enlargements cervical (brachial) plexus and lumbar (lumbosacral) plexus
cervical upper back and arms
thoracic middle torso
lumbar butt and legs
rexed laminae posterior horn is laminae I-VI (2nd layer is substantial gelatinosa)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
