| | Spinal nerve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The muscles that one particular spinal root supplies are that nerve´s myotome, and the dermatomes are the areas of sensory innervation on the skin for each spinal nerve. | | | The term spinal nerve generally refers to the mixed spinal nerve, which is formed from the dorsal and ventral roots that come out of the spinal cord. | | | Soon after their formation, from the each of the spinal nerves, a dorsal and a ventral ramus emerge. |

| | The Spinal Ganglia (ganglion spinale) are collections of nerve cells on the posterior roots of the spinal nerves. | | | The spinal nerves spring from the medulla spinalis, and are transmitted through the intervertebral foramina. | | | The first cervical nerve emerges from the vertebral canal between the occipital bone and the atlas, and is therefore called the suboccipital nerve; the eighth issues between the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebræ. |

| | Spinal cord injury: Spinal cord 101 |
| | The spinal cord is the major bundle of nerves that carry nerve impulses to and from the brain to the rest of the body. | | | The nerves that lie within the spinal cord are upper motor neurons (UMNs) and their function is to carry the messages back and forth from the brain to the spinal nerves along the spinal tract. | | | The spinal nerves that branch out from the spinal cord to the other parts of the body are called lower motor neurons (LMNs). |

| | Questions and Answers About Spinal Stenosis |
| | Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of spaces in the spine (backbone) that results in pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. | | | The purpose of surgery is to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and restore and maintain alignment and strength of the spine. | | | Pressure on the upper part of the spinal cord (that is, the neck area) may produce similar symptoms in the shoulders, or even the legs. |

| | Spinal Cord and Cranial Nerves |
| | The ventral nerve root is composed of efferent, or motor, fibers that arise from cell bodies located in the ventral and lateral columns of the gray matter of the spinal cord. | | | Any nerves which exit the bones of the CNS (spinal nerves and cranial nerves) are considered part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). | | | In contrast, the pathways for proprioception initially remain on the same side of the spinal cord that it enters, crossing over at the junction between the spinal cord and the brain stem. |
