Spinal Cord Serratus Ligament

The spinal cord is the part of the nervous system that is located in the spinal canal. It consists of gray and white matter. White matter is represented by processes of nerve cells called axons. Gray matter is a collection of nerve cell bodies.

The spinal cord ends the nerves that go from the brain to various organs and tissues of the body. It also provides communication between the brain and spinal cord, as well as between the different parts of the spinal cord and each other.

An important element of the spinal cord is the spinal cord ligament, which connects the spinal cord to the skull and spine. It provides support and protection to the spinal cord and its processes.

One of these ligaments is the Serratus spinal ligament, or lat. l. serratum medullae spinalis. It runs along the entire length of the spinal cord from the skull to the tailbone.

This ligament is made of dense fibrous tissue and consists of two parts: upper and lower. The upper part of the ligament is located at the level of the skull and serves to connect the spinal cord to the skull. The lower part of the ligament is located below the level of the coccyx and serves to connect the spinal cord with the skeleton.

The main function of the Serratus spinal ligament is to protect the spinal cord. It protects the spinal cord from damage and injury, and also maintains its normal functioning. In addition, it ensures the stability of the position of the spinal cord in the spinal canal and prevents its displacement or dislocation.

However, if the Serratus ligament is damaged or weakened, it can lead to various diseases and disorders of the spinal cord. For example, during injury or surgery to the spine, this ligament can be damaged and lead to instability of the spinal cord. In addition, insufficient ligament strength can lead to disc protrusions and herniations.

The serratus ligament is a ligament that connects the anterior and posterior parts of the brain. It consists of fibers that form bundles, making it a very complex structure. The ligament occupies an important place in our body, as it regulates many functions, including consciousness, attention

The dentate spinal cord ligament (l. Serratum Medullae Spinalis, SMZ) is a tightly stretched fibrous structure that provides the interauricular location of the posterior (dorsal) horn of the gray matter of the spinal nerve and the posterior ligament of the arcospinous process of the third sacral vertebra. Located between the spinous processes of the III - IV paired sacral vertebrae and the III lumbar vertebra. The ligament reliably fixes the arcuate processes and vertebral inputs, connects them together, forming a strong muscular corset of the spine, ensuring the strength and stability of the entire musculoskeletal system. There are two types of dentate spinal ligaments. The dense posterior extends dorsally and medially and covers the paravertebral muscles, the roots of the sacrolumbar nerves. In rare cases, it spreads to the posterior cervical nerve. It has an anterior type or the anterior transverse ligament enters the lateral crossbar of the transverse strip of the arcuate processes and limits the mobility of the last lumbar spine.
