Conus medullaris
End of spinal chord
Cauda equina
Horse tail-collection of inferior spinal nerves
Filum terminale
Fibrous extension of pita mater
Denticulate ligaments
Saw tooth shelves of pita mater. Secure spinal chord to vertabral cloumn
Number of pairs of spinal nerve
31
Gray matter of spinal chord
Dorsal lateral and ventral horn
Gray commissure
Central area of gray matter
Central canal
Center of spine
Dorsal root
Contain sensory fibers
Ventral root
Contains motor fibers
Spinal nerves
Formed from fusion of sensory and motor fibers
White matter
Dorsal
Lateral
Ventral funiculus
First pair of spinal nerves leaves-
Via the occupit and atlas
Spinal nerves are mixed nerves
Because they carry afferent and efferent fibers
Dorsal and ventral rami
Divisions of the spinal nerve after branching
Plexus are branches of nerves that-
Serves motor and sensory needs of muscles and skin of the limb
Phrenic nerve
C3-C5
Innervates into the diaphragm
Brachial plexus
C5 - T1
Axillary nerve
Serves deltoid and shoulder skin
Median nerve
Serves flexor group
Ulnar nerve
Serves flexor muscle in anterior forearm
Radial nerve
Serves extensor muscles of posterior arm
Lumbar plexus
L1-L4
Femoral nerve
Serves muscles such as quadracepts
Sciatic nerve
Serves tibia and fibular. Largest nerve in body
Common fibular
Serves skin of anterior leg and dorsal of foot
Sacral plexus
Serves the buttock
Sciatica
Stabbing pain running across siaric nerve
Footdrop
Leg cannot flex and foot drops into plantar flexion
In the somatic nervous system the cell bodies reside
In the Cns
Autonomic nervous system
Consists of chains of two neurons. Preganglionic neurons are in the CNS. ganglionic neurons reside outside the CNS
Conus medullaris

Consists of chains of two neurons. Preganglionic neurons reside in the CNS. synapses with the gaglnglionic neurons outside the CNS
Conus medullaris
End of spinal chord
Cauda equina
Horse tail-collection of inferior spinal nerves
Filum terminale
Fibrous eztension of pita mater
Denticulate ligaments
Saw tooth shelves of pita mater. Secure spinal chord to vertabral cloumn
Tapping on tendons
Activate stretch muscles
Reciprocal inhibition
Inhibiting antagonist muscles in a reflex arch using the same AP to activate agonist muscle
Stretch reflexes
important for maintaining posture, balance and locomotion
cross extensor reflex
withdrawl followed by extension of the opposite limb
plantar reflex
stimulate cutaneous receptors on sole of feet
causes toes to come close together
flaw: babinski's sign (toes flare apart)
corneal reflex
mediated via trigeminal nerve
absense: dmg to brain stem
gag refled
tests cranial nerve 9 and 10
level of mucosa rise should be equal
pupilary light reflex & consensual reflex
tests cranial nerve 2 and 3
flaw: damage to brain stem
ipsilateral reflex
reflexes that occur on the same side of the body from which it was stimualted
ciliospinal reflex
gently stroke neck
pupil should dilate
salivary reflex
collecting spit and testing with pH paper
