Spinal Cord Tracks Sensitive (= ascending, afferent) pathways: Sensitive pathways are responsible for processing impulse information from e.g. the skin and transmit this information to the corresponding centers in the brain. Fasciculus gracilis (GOLL) for the lower half of the body (lies inside) and the Fasciculus cuneatus (BURDACH) for the upper half of the body … Spinal Cord Tracks | White matter Spinal cord
Vegetative spinal cord Vegetative path: Vegetative pathways are responsible for controlling unconscious processes such as digestion, sweating, blood pressure, etc. Fasciculus longitudinalis posterior (posterior longitudinal bundle) This path runs from the hypothalamus to the vegetative nerve cells, from where they innervate (control) the intestines, genital organs and the sweat glands of the skin.

Synonyms Medical: Neuron, ganglion cell Greek: Ganglion = node brain, CNS (central nervous system), nerves, nerve fibers Declaration Ganglia are nodular accumulations of nerve cell bodies outside the central nervous system (= brain and spinal cord). They therefore belong to the peripheral nervous system. A ganglion usually serves as the last switch point before the … Spinal GanglionGanglion Cell
Synonyms Medical: Nervi spinal spinal nerves, CNS, spinal cord, brain, nerve cell Declaration Humans possess 31 pairs of spinal nerves (spinal cord nerves), which pass between the individual vertebrae through the intervertebral holes, i.e. (almost) analogous to the division of the spinal cord on each side: this uniform structure can give the impression of segmentation, … Spinal Cord Nerves
Ignition A direct inflammation of the spinal nerve (spinal nerve) is not an independently described clinical picture, but an inflammation of a nerve root in the area of the spinal cord can occur.The spinal nerve is formed by the union of both nerve roots, the anterior and posterior root; if there is an inflammation of … Ignition | Spinal Cord Nerves
Symptoms of a lesion If there is a lesion of a spinal nerve or one of the two nerve roots located just before this nerve, this can cause symptoms that can give an indication of the location of the lesion. The primary characteristic is that if only one spinal nerve is affected, the symptoms are … Symptoms of a lesion | Spinal Cord Nerves
Synonyms Medical: substantia grisea spinalis CNS, spinal cord, brain, nerve cells Declaration According to REXED, the grey spinal cord substance, which is butterfly-shaped in cross-section, can be divided into 10 layers (Laminae spinalales I-X). Layers I-VI form the posterior horn – the rear column (somatosensory = feeling), layers VIII and IX the anterior horn – … Grey matter spinal cord
Inland cells The inner cells receive nerve impulses from the sensitive nerve cells (neurons) located in the spinal ganglia and send their extensions (axons) to the posterior horn of the spinal cord. However, their axons remain within the gray matter and transmit the incoming information to different other nerve cells, depending on the cell type. … Inland cells | Grey matter spinal cord
Synonyms Medical: Substantia alba spinalis CNS, spinal cord, brain, nerve cell, gray matter spinal cord Introduction This text tries to present the very complex interrelationships in the spinal cord in an understandable way. Due to the complexity of the topic it is aimed at medical students, doctors and very interested laymen. Declaration The Tractus spinobulbaris … Tractus spinobulbaris
Diseases If the rear strand tract is damaged, the so-called rear strand ataxia occurs. Here, movements are uncoordinated and the gait pattern is very uncertain. Patients have a marked tendency to fall because information about the position of joints and muscles in space is no longer adequately passed on and the extent of movements can … Diseases | Tractus spinobulbaris
