Spinal Cord Lab Objectives:
A. Identify gross anatomical features of the spinal cord situated within the vertebral column. Notice the relationship of spinal segments and roots to meninges and to surrounding vertebrae.
B. In transverse sections of spinal cord, locate landmark fissures, sulci, septae, and the central canal. Identify regions and nuclei of gray matter and divisions of the white matter.
C. Identify structures that make up conscious ascending pathways for Pain & Temperature and Touch & Kinesthesia
