[edit] Flashcards
| Column 1 | Column 2 (memorize) |
|---|---|
| What is the distinguishing feature(s) of the cervical cord? | It is the widest segment because of the large amount of white matter and large ventral horn. |
| What is the distinguishing feature(s) of the thoracic cord? | It has the highest ratio of white matter to gray matter. |
| What is the distinguishing feature(s) of the lumbar cord? | It has the highest ratio of gray matter to white matter. There is a lot of gray matter because of the lumbar enlargement (due to motor neurons and interneurons to the legs). |
| What is the significance of the sulcus limitans? | It separates the alar (sensory) and basal (motor) plate. |
| How are the afferents organized in the spinal cord? | The afferents from the dorsal medial septum outwards are: sacral, lumbar, lower thoracic, upper thoracic, and cervical (meaning that the axons leave/enter on the area connected to the dorsal horn). |
| Afferent | Sensory (afferent connection arrives and an efferent connection exits.) |
| Efferent | Motor (afferent connection arrives and an efferent connection exits.) |
