spinal cord (SPC)

The term spinal cord (SPC) refers to the long cylindrical portion of the central nervous system (CNS) that is encased in vertebrae of the spinal column. It is the link between the brain (BRN) and most of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SPC and the BRN together constitute the CNS ( Carpenter-1983 ). Final 23 Dec 2024.

Models Where It Appears

Classical Vertebrate Central Nervous System

The Classical Vertebrate Central Nervous System is a hierarchical model of gray matter structures that are common to the brain and spinal cord of all vertebrates. As in other classical models, structures are grouped by proximity as observed on dissection, and the upper levels correspond roughly to their organization in the embryo. The hierarchical organization is based on the Basic Partts List for Adult Nervous System in All Animals ( Swanson-2104 ), the nomenclature on NeuroNames ( Bowden-2012 ).
