Cord of the Spinal Cord

The spinal cord (Funiculus medullae spinalis) is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the spinal cord to the brain. It consists of many thin nerve fibers that pass through the spinal canal of the spine and form a network that provides communication between the spinal cord and various parts of the body.

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system and plays an important role in regulating movement and sensation in the body. It is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to various organs and tissues, and from them back to the spinal cord.

In humans, the spinal cord begins to form at 4-5 weeks of intrauterine development and ends at approximately 20 years of age. It is about 1 meter long and consists of several layers of nerve fibers.

The main functions of the spinal cord include transmitting signals from the spinal cord to the brain and vice versa, as well as providing communication between different parts of the spinal cord. In addition, the spinal cord is involved in the regulation of muscle tone, coordination of movements, sensitivity and other body functions.

Dysfunction of the spinal cord can lead to various diseases, such as paralysis, sensory impairment, impaired motor coordination and others. Treatment for these conditions may include surgery, medication, and physical therapy.

In general, the spinal cord plays an important role in the functioning of the human central nervous system and its health. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of its health and proper functioning.

The spinal cord is the largest of the connecting threads of the spinal cord and brain. This connecting thread carries associative fibers and nerves that connect the spinal cord segments to each other and the spinal cord to the brain.

The spinal cord consists of three parts: anterior, posterior and middle. It also includes the nerve roots of both hemispheres of the spinal cord. In addition, sometimes the cord includes the lumbar ligament. The spinal cord is one of the weaker parts of the spinal cord, but it is not critical for brain activity. This is explained by the presence in it of a few associative nerve fibers, with the help of which communication is carried out with similar nerves of the opposite parts of the brain.
