    SPINAL NERVES

    SPINAL NERVE

     There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves.


     Spinal nerves are associated with the spinal cord and
    nerves of the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
     Spinal nerves connect the CNS to sensory receptors, muscles, and glands in all parts of
    the body
    Classification of spinal nerve

     Spinal nerves are numbered in groups according


    to the part of the spinal cord from which they arise
    CERVICAL SPINAL NERVE

     8 PAIRS
     1st pair of spinal nerves emerges from the spinal cord between the occipital bone and the
    atlas.
     Spinal nerves C1 – C7 emerge from the vertebral column through intervertebral
    foramina.
     Exits the vertebral canal above their corresponding
    vertebra.
     Spinal nerve C8 exits vertebral canal between
    C7 and T1
    THORACIC SPINAL NERVE

     12 PAIRS
     They emerge from thoracic vertebrae
     Spinal nerves T1–T12 exit the vertebral canal below
    their corresponding vertebrae.
    LUMBAR SPINAL NERVE

     5 PAIRS
     They emerge from lumbar vertebrae
     Like thoracic nerve they exits the vertebral canal below their corresponding vertebra
    SACRAL NERVE AND COCCYX NERVE

     There are 5 pairs sacral spinal nerve


     1 pair of coccyx spinal nerve
     From the spinal cord, the roots of the sacral spinal nerves (S1–S5) and the coccygeal
    spinal nerves (Co1) enter the sacral canal, in the sacrum.
     spinal nerves S1–S4 exit the sacral canal via the four pairs of anterior and posterior sacral
    foramina
     spinal nerves S5 and Co1exit the sacral canal via the sacral hiatus
     Cervical and thoracic spinal nerves arise and leave
    at corresponding vertebra .
     Because the spinal cord are shorter than vertebra column, nerve that arise from lumbar,
    sacral and coccyx region of spinal cord do not
    leave the vertebra column at the same level where they exit the cord.
     The root of these spinal nerves angle inferiorly in the vertebral canal
    from the end of spinal cord like wisps of hair.
    These root of this nerve, collectively called cauda equina
     Typical spinal nerve has 2 connection to cord i.e.
    a posterior root and an anterior root .
     The posterior and anterior roots unite to form a spinal nerve at the
    intervertebral foramen.
     The posterior root contains sensory axons and the anterior root contains motor axons so ,a
    spinal nerve is classified as a mixed nerve.
     The posterior root contains posterior root ganglion in which cell bodies of sensory
    neurons are located.
    BRANCHES

     From the root, after passing the intervetebral foramen, a spinal nerve divide into several
    branches.
     Theses branches are called rami (ramus) ; posterior (dorsal) ramus and anterior (ventral)
    ramus.
     Posterior (dorsal) ramus serve the deep muscles and skin of the posterior surface of the
    trunk.
     Anterior (ventral) ramus serve muscles and structure of the upper and lower limbs and
    the skin of the lateral and anterior surface of the trunk.
     Spinal nerve also give off a meningeal branch, where this branch reenter the vertebral
    cavity through intervertebral foramen and supply the vertebra, vertebra ligament and
    blood vessels of spinal cord and meninges.
     Other branches from spinal nerve are the rami communicantes components of ANS
