Cross-Sectional Anatomy of the Spinal Cord
• Central area of gray matter shaped like a butterfly and surrounded by white matter in 3 columns• Gray matter = neuron cell bodies with little myelin• White matter = myelinated axons

Gray Matter in the Spinal Cord
• Pair of dorsal or posterior horns– dorsal root of spinal nerve is totally sensory fibers
• Pair of ventral or anterior horns– ventral root of spinal nerve is totally motor fibers
• Connected by gray commissure punctured by a central canal continuous above with 4th ventricle
Dorsal Horn
Ventral Horn
Ventral Root of Spinal Nerve
Central Canal

• Ascending and descending tract head up or down while decussation means that the fibers cross sides
• Contralateral means origin and destination are on opposite sides while ipsilateral means on same side

• Deep touch, visceral pain, vibration, and proprioception
• Fasciculus gracilis and cuneatus carry signals from arm and leg
• Decussation of 2nd order neuron in medulla
• 3rd order neuron in thalamus carries signal to cerebral cortex
Dorsal Column Ascending Pathway

13-8
Spinothalamic Pathway
• Pain, pressure, temperature, light touch, tickle and itch
• Decussation of the second order neuron occurs in spinal cord
• Third order neurons arise in thalamus and continue to cerebral cortex

• Precise, coordinated limb movements
• Two neuron pathway
– upper motor neuron in cerebral cortex
– lower motor neuron in spinal cord
• Decussation in medulla
Corticospinal Tract

Anatomy of a Nerve
• A nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers (axons)• Epineurium covers nerves, perineurium surrounds a fascicle and
endoneurium separates individual nerve fibers• Blood vessels penetrate only to the perineurium

Anatomy of Gangliain the PNS
• Cluster of neuron cell bodies in nerve in PNS
• Dorsal root ganglion is sensory cell bodies
– fibers pass through without synapsing

Spinal nerves: • 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5
lumbar, 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal.
• Each has dorsal and ventral ramus.

Rami of Spinal Nerves
• Notice the branching and merging of nerves in this example of a plexus
