This tract is known as the dorsal spinocerebellar tract. [13] These intercostal and lumbar radicular arteries arise from the aorta, provide major anastomoses and supplement the blood flow to the spinal cord. In humans, the spinal cord begins at the occipital bone, passing through the foramen magnum and entering the spinal canal at the beginning of the cervical vertebrae. { bidder: 'criteo', params: { networkId: 7100, publisherSubId: 'cdo_btmslot' }}, { bidder: 'pubmatic', params: { publisherId: '158679', adSlot: 'cdo_topslot' }}]}, This part of the spine contains no actual segments of the spinal cord. { bidder: 'appnexus', params: { placementId: '11654174' }}, Cross-section through the spinal cord at the mid-thoracic level.

'increment': 0.01, pbjs.que.push(function() { The secondary neuronal axons continue to ascend ipsilaterally and then pass into the cerebellum via the inferior cerebellar peduncle. Below L2, the proprioceptive information travels up the spinal cord in the ventral spinocerebellar tract. Two prominent grooves, or sulci, run along its length. In the spinal cord, the axons synapse and the secondary neuronal axons decussates and then travel up to the superior cerebellar peduncle where they decussate again. It encloses the central canal of the spinal cord, which contains cerebrospinal fluid. Between the dura mater and the surrounding bone of the vertebrae is a space called the epidural space. This helps control the sensation of pain to some degree. The ventral (motor) and dorsal (sensory) roots combine to form spinal nerves (mixed; motor and sensory), one on each side of the spinal cord.
