Central nervous system Definition: Neural tissue within the skull and vertebral column that is the integrative and command center of the body.Parts: Brain, spinal cord Peripheral nervous system Definition: Neural tissue outside the CNS whose function is to convey the information between the CNS and...
(Petersen et al., 1975). In the cat, the fibers descend in or next to themedial longitudinal fasciculusin the caudal brainstem and reach the medial and ventral parts of the ventral column of the spinal cord (Nyberg-Hansen, 1965). The fibers terminate in laminae 6–9 at all spinal ...
The five vertebrae of the lumbar spine are labeled L1–L5 and are responsible for different parts of the body. The muscle movements affected by each lumbar section are as follows:L1 and L2: hip bending and flexing L3: knee straightening L4: bending the foot upward L5: extending the toes...
Green: GFP labeled microglia; Red: blood vessels labeled with Texas Red dextran; Gray: second harmonic generation (SHG) signals of collagen and other connective tissues; Magenta: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) signals of adipose tissue and myelin with the Raman shift at 2863.5 cm−1, ...
The LC system consists of a binary pump, degasser, column heater, and autosampler. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Waters Atlantis T3 3 µm 3.0 × 50 mm analytical column using a ballistic gradient of mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water (A) and 0.1% ...
In the upper cervical segments labeled neurons are located predominantly in the ventral horn; the axons cross to the contralateral side. In the cervical enlargement labeled neurons concentrate in the avian cervical Clarke's column (ClC) and in cervical spinal border cells (SBC). The axons of ...
Labeled neurons are also seen in the medullary reticular formation [RVL and LPGi, (C)], inferior olive [IO, (C)], and dorsal column nuclei [Gr and Cu, (D)]. Projection neurons in Sp5 have polygonal or elongated somata (E). Projection neurons in dorsal column nuclei and reticular ...
The white matter is divided into two areas, which include the dorsal (or posterior) column (or funiculus), ventral (or anterior) column, and lateral column. The anterior white matter resides in the center of the spinal cord. Crossing nerve fibers are located in this matter and belong to ...
DRGs were dissected out of a vertebral column of adult (3–5 months) C57BL/6 J male mice. The roots of the isolated DRGs were trimmed in cold HBSS, collected in a centrifuge tube and spun down at 500 rpm for 1 min. The HBSS was then removed. The tissues were incubated in ...
The post 110 may be configured to extend generally in a direction along the spinal column. The bridge end 112 of the post 110 may connect to the lower bridge 106. The post 110 may extend upwardly so that the tail end 114 of the post 60 may be disposed at a location higher than the...
