The Spinal Cord
Captions available
The idea
The spinal cord and brain together form the central nervous system, and the spinal cord runs within the spinal cavity of the vertebral column.
In practice
The cranial and spinal cavities are continuous, and the dura mater encloses both the brain and the spinal cord.
Where people slip
Spine surgery is usually done with the patient prone, a position whose risks are covered in unit fifteen.
