Honk that Horn
This brain area is where motor neurons live that connect to skeletal muscle
What is the ventral horn?
This rooty structure contains the sensory fibers coming into the spinal cord
What is the dorsal root?
This blood vessel provides the major ventral source of blood to the spine
What is the anterior spinal artery
A tract is a bundle of what part of the neuron?
What is axons?
This disorder is caused by a failure of the neural tube to close?
What is Spina bifida?
This is the gray matter area that contains motor outputs to the sympathetic nervous system
What is the lateral horn?
This FUNicular area includes the portion of the pyramidal tracks called the anterior corticospinal tract
Ventral funiculus
This pair of blood vessels provides blood to the dorsal side of the spinal cord
What are the posterior spinal arteries?
These spinal cord tracts send information from the brain to skeletal muscles
What are the pyramidal tracts
This disorder, resulting from spinal lesions, causes contralateral pain and ipsilateral muscle weakness.
What is Brown-Sequard syndrome
This gray matter area is where sensory nerve axons enter the spinal cord
What is the dorsal horn?
This rooty structure contains the motor outputs leaving the spinal cord.
What is the ventral root?
These blood vessels connect the dorsal and ventral vessels and also connects to some of the white matter areas on the outside of the spinal cord
What are the coronal arteries?
This system of spinal cord tracts sends sensory information about touch and vibration on the same side of the body to the brain.
What is the medial lemniscus system?
This disorder is due to a cyst or cleft within the spinal cord, which cuts off pain and temperature signals from several dermatomes
What is syringomyelia?
This is the gray matter area that contains motor outputs to the somatic nervous system
What is the ventral horn?
This FUNicular area is another term for the anterolateral system
This singular blood vessel provides blood to most of the gray matter of the spinal cord
What is the anterior sulcal artery
This system of tracts sends pain and temperature information to the opposite side of spine and then to the brain.
What is the anterolateral system?
This disorder is characterized by sharp shooting pain in the legs, and is a result of long term affliction from syphilis
What is Tabes dorsalis?
This non-horn area of the spinal cord is where the CSF flows, and is surrounded by the gray commissure
What is the central canal?
This FUNicular area is another term for the medial lemniscus system
What is the dorsal funiculus?
These 32 pairs of arteries arise from arteries in the immediate vicinity of the spinal column.
What are radicular arteries?
These two types of spinal nerves do not have distinct tracts in the spinal cord. Three letter abbreviations acceptable.
what are general visceral afferent (GVA) and general visceral efferent (GVE) fibers?
This disorder, due to a tumor in the spine, can cause headaches and a buildup of CSF in the brain.
What is an ependymoma.
