Across
- 2. Mixed nerve carrying both sensory and motor fibers in the PNS, right outside the vertebral foramen.
- 6. Carries pain, temperature, and crude touch sensations from dermatomes toward the supraspinal areas
- 7. Carry axons involved in the sympathetic nervous system from spinal nerves to and from the sympathetic trunk.
- 10. Spinal Cord Blood Supply
- 11. Grey Matter part of the spinal cord which processes sensory and motor information related to the body
- 12. Houses cell bodies of sensory neurons of somatic and autonomic systems.
- 15. White Matter part of the spinal cord which carries information to/from the spinal cord for sensory, motor, and autonomic functions related to the body
- 16. Conveys fine touch, vibration, and proprioception fibers from dermatomes toward the supraspinal areas
- 19. Group of tracts which convey unconscious proprioceptive and motor feedback information to the cerebellum.
- 20. Provides nutrients to deep spinal cord and allows passage of CSF between the fourth ventricle and the spinal cord levels.
- 21. These gelatinous-like structures of the vertebral column borders the anterior surface of the Central Canal, and can protrude into it to cause central signs and symptoms. "Vertebral _____"
- 23. Axons transmitting motor commands from the spinal cord towards peripheral targets. Contains both somatic and sympathetic axons.
- 26. Collection of Neurons in the PNS, located on the outside of vertebral bodies, involved in the sympathetic nervous system
- 27. This white matter area carries a combination of sensory axons (Spinocerebellar and Anterolateral) and motor axons for extremity movements (Corticospinal) vertically within the spinal cord
- 28. Controls voluntary motor movements of the extremities via upper motor neurons. The most important tract to know for movement.
- 29. The tapered end of the spinal cord at the L1 vertebral body level.
Down
- 1. Supplies the lateral and anterior trunk and limb dermatome and myotome patterns.
- 3. This white matter area includes sensory axons (DCML) and is the portion of the spinal cord closest to the vertebral arch and spinous process
- 4. Opening within the vertebrae for spinal nerves to enter and exit.
- 5. Axons carrying sensory information into the spinal cord from peripheral sensory receptors.
- 8. Forms the posterior boundary of the vertebral foramen, bordering the posterior surface of the Central Canal. "Vertebral _____"
- 9. Group of spinal tracts which modulate and refine movement by providing unconscious motor control of the body, mainly the trunk and proximal limbs
- 13. Vertical arrangement of sympathetic ganglia along the entire vertebral column, Part of the autonomic nervous system, regulates body functions for "Fight or Flight" responses.
- 14. Gray Matter sympathetic neuron cell bodies sending sympathetic outflow to the body. One of the three horns of the spinal cord, only present from T1-L2.
- 17. Bundle of nerve roots travelling vertically within the central canal from L1 to S5 vertebral levels
- 18. Contains lower motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscles of the body. One of the the three horns of the spinal cord.
- 21. Supplies the posterior trunk and back muscle dermatome and myotome patterns.
- 22. This white matter area is carries mostly motor axons for trunk and posture (extra-pyramidal) and some sensory axons (Anterolateral), and is the portion of the spinal cord closest to the vertebral bodies and discs of the skeletal system.
- 24. Gray Matter sensory neurons receiving sensory information from the body. One of the three horns of the spinal cord.
- 25. Transmits neural signals between the brain and body.
