The nerve roots at the termination of the spinal cord.
a taillike collection of roots of spinal nerves at the inferior end of the spinal canal
A bunch of nerves that follows on from the end of the spinal cord. It starts at approximately the level of the first lumbar vertebra (L1).
'horse's tail'. Refers to the leash of spinal nerve roots below the level of the spinal cord ( Ch. 11).
Latin = a horse's tail.
Literally translated this means ‘horseâ€(tm)s tailâ€(tm). It is a good description of the appearance of the leash of nerves which form the continuation of the spinal cord in the lower part of the spinal canal.
(Latin = horse's tail) caudal extension of the mature spinal cord.
The roots of the upper sacral nerves that extend beyond the termination of the spinal cord of the first lumbar vertebra in the form of a bundle of filaments within the spinal canal, resembling a horse's tail.
The continuation of nerve fibers in the part of the vertebral column that lies below the spinal cord; cauda equina is Latin for "horse's tail"
Spinal nerve roots distal to the tip of the adult spinal cord; they extend caudally inside the vertebral canal en route to lumbar and sacral segments.
refers to the descending ventral and dorsal roots of the lumbar, sacral and coccygeal nerves that lie in the subarachnoid space at the caudal tip of the spinal cord
(L. cauda, tail; equus, horse): The lumbar and sacral nerve roots within the lumbar cistern as they descend to emerge from their respective intervertebral and sacral foramina.
This literally means `horse's tail` and is used to describe the nerve fibres at the end of the spinal cord. Below the level of the second lumbar vertebra (L2) Cerebrospinal fluid The clear fluid that bathes the brain and the spinal cord. It is removed for testing through a lumbar puncture. It is into this fluid that the radio-opaque fluid for a myelogram is injected.
The bundle of nerve roots found at the end of the spinal cord.
Composed of the nerve roots in the lumbar spine that come off the end of the spinal cord and travel to the lower extremities, bowel and bladder.
The inferior continuation of the spinal cord and membranes. It includes the filum terminale with the roots of the lumber and sacral nerves.
A region at the lower end of the spinal column in which nerve roots branch out in a fashion that resembles a horse's tail.
The bundle of spinal nerve roots arising from the end of the spinal cord and filling the lower part of the spinal canal(from approximately the thoraco-lumbar junction down).
the 'horse's tail', the three inch bundle of fine nerves leaving the lower end of the spinal cord, below the level of the second lumbar vertebra (L2).
In the human spine, it is made up of a bundle of neural tissue, connective tissue, pia mater, and neuron cells, and starts below the end of the spinal cord, beyond the L2 vertebra in the adult vertebral canal. It derives from the useless remnant of the spinal cord that was in the tail of the embryo. Where it begins, it is made up of remainders of neural tissue, connective tissue, pia mater, and neuroglial tissue. At its lower end, it becomes a thin, fibrous strand descending among the nerve rootlets of the cauda equina. It leaves the lower end of the dural sac, passes through the sacral hiatus, blends with the upper end of the anococcygeal ligament, and ends by inserting into the back of the coccyx. Known as the filum terminale, this tail or tail-like appendage has no functional use.
The collection of spinal roots descending from the lower part of the spinal cord.
The group of spinal roots which descend from the inferior portion of the spinal cord. (literally "horse's tail") image
a collection of spinal roots that descend from the lower part of the spinal cord. They exist in the lower part of the vertebral canal.
The collection of nerves below the end of the spinal cord which travel down the thecal sac to leave through the foremen to go to the muscles and skin.
The "horse's tail" made up of a bundle of spinal nerves at the base of the spinal cord.
The collection of nerves at the end of the spinal cord that resembles a horse's tail.
(meaning horse's tail) the bundle of nerve roots below the end of the spinal cord.
The cauda equina is a structure within the lower end of the spinal column, that consists of nerve roots and rootlets from above.
compression - most often due to neoplasm but also by lipoma, in spina bifida occulta, constricting fibrous band or by chronic arachnoiditis. If a complication of ankylosing spondylitis, it may also be due to arachnoiditis, but is more often associated with arachnoid cysts.
