The enkephalins also have been found in the rostral ventral medulla and in the spinal cord regions. Enkephalins and endorphins are neuropeptides. Neuropeptide are produced in cells derived from ambryonic neural precursor structures‚ these include neurons‚ chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla‚ enterochromaffin cellsof the gut and islet

Spinal Cord Motor Activity Classification of Reflexes " 1- Somatic reflexes : that you are aware of them 2- Autonomic Reflexes : that control visceral organs. Examples of spinal reflexes‚ involving spinal nerves and the spinal cord‚ include: 1- extensor reflex: leg proprioceptors trigger limb extension 2- myotatic (stretch) reflex: muscle stretch is resisted by reflex contraction of the muscle 3- withdrawal (flexion) reflex: limb flexes to withdraw from a noxious stimulus

vertebral column is a column usually consisting of 24 articulating vertebrae and 9 fused vertebrae in the sacrum and the coccyx. It is situated in the dorsal aspect of the torso‚ separated by intervertebral discs. It houses and protects the spinal cord in its spinal canal. There are normally thirty-three (33) vertebrae in humans‚ including the five that are fused to form the sacrum (the others are separated by intervertebral discs and the four coccygeal bones that form the tailbone.

The spina bifida occulta is a tiny opening that usually causes mild or no symptoms. Whereas‚ the spina bifida cystica-meningocele is a big enough opening so that some of the membrane surrounding the spinal cord sticks out through the opening.

In the spinal cord‚ 85-90% of oligodendrocytes originate from a specific area of the ventral ventricular zone and the others arise from dorsal spinal cord. Oligodendrocytes along with Schwann cells are also responsible to generates myelin‚ the fatty white layer that preserve‚ wrap‚ and insulates nerve fibers. In the CNS‚ each oligodendrocytes
