Question
Answer
The spinal cord gives rise to 31 pairs of   Spinal Nerves  
🗑
The bulge in the spinal cord that gives off nerves to the upper limbs is called the   Cervical enlargement  
🗑
The bulge in the spinal cord that gives off nerves to the lower limbs is called the   Lumbar enlargement  
🗑
The (BLANK) is a groove that extends the length of the spinal cord posteriorly.   Posterior Median Sulcus  
🗑
In a spinal cord cross section, the posterior (BLANK) of the gray matter resemble the upper wings of a butterfly.   Horns  
🗑
The cell bodies of motor neurons are found in the (BLANK) horns of the spinal cord.   Anterior  
🗑
The (BLANK) connects the gray matter on the left and right sides of the spinal cord.   Gray Commissure  
🗑
The (BLANK) in the gray commissure of the spinal cord contains cerebrospinal fluid and is continuous with the ventricles of the brain.   Central Canal  
🗑
The white matter of the spinal cord is divided into anterior, lateral, and posterior   Funiculus  
🗑
The longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord comprise major nerve pathways called   Nerve tracts  
🗑
Ascending tract to the brain to interpret touch, pressure, and body movements.   Fasciculus gracilis  
🗑
Descending tract whose fibers conduct motor impulses to sweat glands and muscles to control tone   Reticulospinal  
🗑
Descending tract whose fibers conduct motor impulses to skeletal muscles   Corticospinal  
🗑
Ascending tract to the cerebellum necessary for coordination of skeletal muscles   Posterior spinocerebellar  
🗑
Ascending tract to the brain to give rise to sensations of temperature and pain   Lateral spinothalamic  
🗑
Band of pia mater that anchors dura mater to cord   Denticulate Ligament  
🗑
Channel through which venous blood flows   Dural sinus  
🗑
Outermost layer of meninges   Dura mater  
🗑
Follows irregular contours of spinal cord surface   Pia mater  
🗑
Contains cerebrospinal fluid   Subarachnoid space  
🗑
Thin, web like middle membrane   Arachnoid mater  
🗑
Separates dura mater from bone of vertebra   Epidural space  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
