Nerves arising from the spinal cord. There are 31 pairs.
One of the 31 pairs of nerves which lead from the spinal cord and govern mainly the trunk and limbs.
Any of 31 pairs of nerves connected to the spinal cord. Each spinal nerve divides into branches, some serving the voluntary nervous system, others the autonomic nervous system.
The 31 paired nerves originating from the spinal cord and containing afferent and efferent fibers to send and receive nervous impulses.
The 3 1 pairs of nerves that leave the spinal cord and are distributed to the body, passing out from the vertebral canal through the spaces between the arches of the vertebrae. Each nerve has two roots, an anterior, carrying motor nerve fibers, and a posterior, carrying sensory fibers. Immediately after the roots leave the spinal cord they merge to form a mixed spinal nerve on each side.
Any of the nerves arising from the spinal cord. They consist of 31 pairs: eight cervical, 12 thoracic, five lumbar, five sacral, and one coccygeal, corresponding with the spinal vertebrae. Each spinal nerve is attached to the spinal cord by two roots: a dorsal or posterior sensory root and a ventral or anterior motor root. The former consists of afferent fibers conveying impulses to the cord; the latter of efferent fibers conveying impulses from the cord. A typical spinal nerve, on passing through the intervertebral foramen, divides into four branches, a recurrent branch, a dorsal ramus or posterior primary division, a ventral ramus or anterior primary division, and two rami communicantes (white and gray), which pass to ganglia of the sympathetic trunk.
Nerves that branch from the spinal cord and that go to the brain and to the tissues of the body.
Thirty-one pairs of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord; each pair serves a particular part of the body.
A collection of 31 nerve duos linked to the spinal cord exists. These nerves protrude in two parallel lines from both sides of the spinal cord, exiting through openings between neighboring spinal bones. Subsequently, they diverge to provide sensory and motor nerve fibers to the torso, arms, and legs.
A slipped disc can exert pressure on a spinal nerve, resulting in pain. Damage to the nerve could cause a loss of feeling or mobility in the area that the nerve serves.
