Term
|
Definition
| Tough outermost covering. Extensions of this covering surround the spinal nerves as they emerge from the cord; the nerves, however, have no subarachnoid space. This layer is continuous with the epineurium. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Just inside dura. Sends thin fibers to the spinal cord to keep it in place. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Canal filled with cerebrospinal fluid, located between arachnoid mater and pia mater. Fills space around spinal cord; protection. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Thin layer (one cell thick, usually) that covers over outer surface of cord |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Lateral extensions of the Pia Mater, the denticulate ligament, attach spinal cord to dura mater, thus holding the spinal cord in the center of the dural sac as a hammock. This is to protect it from shock when the body is jostled around. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The spinal cord terminates in the L1 vertebral level as a cone-shaped region called the ‘conus medullaris.' |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The pia mater continues to the end of the sacral part of the spinal canal as a structure known as the filum terminale. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The cauda equina, which are the dorsal and ventral roots of lower lumbar and sacral nerves distal to the conus medullaris, surround the filum terminale; while they are hard to tell apart, the cauda equina is nonetheless distinctly separate from the filum terminale. |
