Q

What does the interbvertabral foramen mark?

A

The division between CNS and PNS

20
Q

How many spinal nerves are there and how are they named?

A

31

named according to the level of vertabrae that they emerge from

21
Q

What are vertebral segments derived from?

A

Differentiate from sclerotomes

Each one derived from pair of adjacent somites (overlap)

22
Q

Where does the spinal cord run?

A

Through vertebrae foramen

known as spinal canal when they are stacked

23
Q

How do the spinal nerves leave the spinal canal?

A

Via intervertebral foramina

24
Q

where does spinal cord begin and end?

A 
inferior margin Medulla oblongata 
Conus medullaris (L2)
25
Q

are spinal cord segments in line with their vertebrae?

A

NO (vertabra is longer than cord)

26
Q

What is cauda equina?

A

Lower part of spinal canal

contains spinal nerves but not cord

27
Q

How do the roots from inferior spine exit vertebrae if they are not in line with their segment?

A

Long roots from inferior spinal cord often have to descend down into cauda equina and exit at their intervertabral foramina

28
Q

Where does the first spinal nerve emerge?

A

Cervical nerves

C1 (between occipital bone and atlas)

29
Q

where do C1 - C7 spinal nerves emerge?

A

Above their corresponding vertebrae

30
Q

Where does C8 spinal nerve emerge?

A

Between C7 and T1

31
Q

Where do T1 and L5 spinal nerves exit?

A

Below their corresponding verterbrae

32
Q

where do s1-s4 nerves exit?

A

Sacral bones are fused together

Exit via 4 pairs of sacral foramina

33
Q

Where do S5 and Co1 exit?

A

Sacral hiatus

34
Q

What are rami?

A

Mixed spinal nerves divide into them

35
Q

Branches of spinal nerve

A

Dorsal rami
Ventral rami
Rami communicantes
Meningeal branch

36
Q

Dorsal ramus

A

Posterior and small

Supplies deep muscles of skin and dorsal trunk

37
Q

Ventral ramus

A

Anterior and larger

Supplies muscles and the skin of upper and lower limbs and lateral and ventral trunk

38
Q

Meningeal branch

A

Re-enters spinal canal through intervertebral foramina

Supplies vertebrae, ligaments, blood vessels and meninges

39
Q

Rami communicantes

A

Part of the autonomic nervous system

40
Q

Grey rami communicantes

A

Contains unmyelinated post ganglionic nerve fibres
Travels from a sympathetic ganglion to adjacent spinal nerve
Supply the periphery
ALL SPINAL NERVES RECIEVE

41
Q

White rami communicantes

A

Myelinated
Come off between T1 and L2
Preganglionic nerve fibres of sympathetic system
Connects spinal cord to sympathetic chain

42
Q

What do the dorsal/posterior rami do?

A

Divide into medial and lateral branches

Supply the skin of the back

43
Q

What is a dermatome?

A

Area of skin supplied by a single spinal nerve

44
Q

What do the ventral/anterior rami do?

A

Complicated

Enter plexuses to supply limbs

45
Q

Junction on anterior chest dermatome

A

C4 and T2 (T1 supplies upper limbs instead)

46
Q

Learn dermatome map ella

A

LEARN ITTT (Foerester map)

47
Q

Key sections dermatome map:

A

T4/T5 - nipples
T10 - umbilicus
L1 - Groin
