Spinal Nerves anatomy • There are 31 pairs of spinal nerve connect laterally to the spinal cord along the human spine, • Each nerve has a pair of the dorsal (sensory) root and ventral (motor) root which are made up of many rootlets. • The cervical dorsal root contains 5-8 rootlets each (Karatas et el, 2004)
Spinal Cord Size H.Y Ko et al 2004 The spinal cord diameter varies between different regions of the human spine Wide range of diameters in different sections of the spine Uniformed spinal cord in the Computational Model
