Spinal Cord Review

2. branches innervate the skin and muscles of the anterior and medial thigh
5. funiculi that carry information about touch and limb position to the brain
8. innervates the posterior thigh and most of the leg and foot
10. Portion of the posterior horn that contains neurons that send pain and temperature sensations to the brain
11. collection of muscle fibers innervated by motor axons within each segmental nerve root
12. central part of the spinal cord, shaped like a butterfly, contains cell bodies of the neurons
14. section of the grey matter in the spinal cord that carry sensory information to the brain
15. the area of the skin innervated by the sensory axons within each segmental nerve root
16. funiculi that are ascending and descending pathways
17. part of the spinal cord that carry afferent sensory information to the CNS
18. Portion of the grey matter that contains CSF

1. the entire upper limb is innervated by these branches
3. part of the spinal cord that carry efferent motor information to tissue
4. the outer part of the spinal cord that contains bundles of ascending and descending fibers
6. part of the central nervous system, carries sensory and motor information
7. funiculi that are descending pain pathways for movement
9. section of the grey matter in the spinal cord that contains cell bodies of motor neurons that activate skeletal muscle
13. provides cutaneous sensory info from posterior scalp to the clavicle
