Title: Dissection of the Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves of the Fetal Pig Post by: mickey2014 on Apr 13, 2014 Could someone please help me with this question
In what region (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral) of the spinal cord would you find the following special features? Enlargements: _____________________________ _____________________________ _ Cauda equina: _____________________________ _____________________________ _ Title: Re: Dissection of the Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves of the Fetal Pig Post by: jennn on Apr 13, 2014 1.) The spinal cord has two enlargements: one in the cervical and one in the lumbar. These exist because in these regions there is an increased number of cell bodies for the purpose of more motor control.
2.) The caudal equina, "horse's tail", is a bundle of nerves located in the 2nd - 5th lumbar.

proper order (i.e., the median, radial, and ulnar nerves). |
