Spinal cord
![Page 3: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The spinal cord provides a crucial information conduit, connecting the brain with most of the body.
It is the target of a number of disease processes, some of which (eg, spinal cord compression) are treatable but rapidly progressive if not treated.
![Page 4: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Failure to diagnose some disorders of the spinal cord, such as spinal cord compression, can be catastrophic and may relegate the patient to a lifetime of paralysis.
A knowledge of the architecture of the spinal cord and its coverings, and of the fiber tracts and cell groups that comprise it, is essential.

The sensory component of each spinal nerve is distributed to a dermatome, a well-defined segmental portion of the skin
in many patients there is no C1 dorsal root, there is no C1 dermatome
when a C1 dermatome does exist as an anatomic variant, it covers a small area in the central part of the neck, close to the occiput
![Page 10: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
dermatomes for C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1 are confined to the arm
C4 and T2 dermatomes are contiguous over the anterior trunk.
thumb, middle finger, and fifth digit are within the C6, C7, and C8 dermatomes, respectively

The territories of dermatomes tend to overlap, making it difficult to determine the absence of a single segmental innervation on the basis of sensory testing

Myotomes
myotome refers to the skeletal musculature innervated by motor axons in a given spinal root
Most muscles are innervated by motor axons that arise from several adjacent spinal roots.
Nevertheless, lesions of a single spinal root, in many cases, can cause weakness and atrophy of a muscle

Rexed’s laminae
![Page 27: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Rexed's laminae
Lamina I This thin marginal layer contains
neurons that respond to noxious stimuli [pain, temperature] and send axons to the contralateral spinothalamic tract.
![Page 29: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lamina II- substantia gelatinosa made up of small neurons, some of
which respond to noxious stimuli. Substance P, a neuropeptide
involved in pathways mediating sensibility to pain, is found in high concentrations in laminas I and II.
![Page 30: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Laminas III and IV[nucleus proprius]
Their main input is from fibers that convey position and light touch sense.
Lamina Vcontains cells that respond to both
noxious and visceral afferent stimuli.
![Page 31: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Lamina VI deepest layer ,contains neurons that
respond to mechanical signals from joints and skin.
![Page 32: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Lamina VII
contains the cells of the dorsal nucleus (Clarke's column) medially as well as a large portion of the ventral gray column.
Clarke's column contains cells that give rise to the posterior spinocerebellar tract.
![Page 33: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
also contains the intermediolateral nucleus (or intermediolateral cell column) in thoracic and upper lumbar regions.
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers project from cells in this nucleus, via the ventral roots and white rami communicantes, to sympathetic ganglia.
![Page 34: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Laminas VIII and IX
represent motor neuron groups in the medial and lateral portions of the ventral gray column
The medial portion (also termed the medial motor neuron column) contains the LMNs that innervate axial musculature
![Page 35: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The lateral motor neuron column contains LMNs for the distal muscles of the arm and leg
flexor muscles are innervated by motor neurons located close to the central canal
extensor muscles are innervated by motor neurons located more peripherally
![Page 36: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Lamina X
represents the small neurons around the central canal or its remnants.
![Page 37: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

White Matter
composed of myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers.
The fast-conducting myelinated fibers form bundles (fasciculi) that ascend or descend for varying distances
Fiber bundles with a common function are called tracts
![Page 39: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The lateral and ventral white columns contain tracts that are not well delimited and may overlap in their cross sectional areas
the dorsal column tracts are sharply defined by glial septa
![Page 40: Spinal cord by DR.ARSHAD](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052411/556b04e7d8b42ae47d8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
