Horn of the Spinal Cord Lateral

**Horn of the Spinal Cord Lateral** (Lateral Horn of the Spinal Cord) is a protruding process that is located on one of the roots of the spinal cord. Horns can be paired or unpaired. Paired horns form the posterior portions of both upper limbs, the lumbar region, the sacrum (sacral or

The spinal cord horn is a growth on the surface of the spinal cord in the area of ​​its lateral sulcus (separates the right and left halves of the spinal cord). Functions of organs located on this side of the body of mammals and birds: the bladder in birds, the gallbladder of animals, the uterus and

In human anatomy, the lateral horn is a continuation of the spinal cord of the brain stem. It is located between the anterior spinal cord and the midbrain. Each lateral horn consists of roots that emerge from the spinal cord at the base of the third or fourth cervical vertebrae and connect to the posterior funiculus of the spinal cord. The lateral horns are located on either side of the central vein at the level and slightly below the lateral ventricles of the brain.

The horn of the median brain (lat. Cornu medians cerebri) is a process of the third ventricle of the brain, passes in front of the reticular formation. The processes of the lateral ventricles - the lateral horns (cornua lateralia) are located medial to the brain and lateral to the hippocampal gyrus. There are 4 side horns, one large and three small. The large lateral section is directed to the hypothalamus and pons, to the cells of the vestibular nerve and vestibule. The middle lateral rhomboid projection is adjacent to the smaller lateral portion of the posterior process of the squamosal portion of the cerebellum. In cows, the lateral horn is sometimes referred to as the protrusion of the posterior horn of the spinal cord directed upward. In horses, the lateral process of the lateral horn includes the cone-shaped prominence of the posterior horn of the dorsal horn. Its main function is to promote circulation by driving blood close to the anterior nipples of the mammary glands, ensuring better blood supply to the mammary gland before calving.
