A spinal nerve carries all types of signals from the brain through the spinal cord and into the rest of the body. The spinal nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The nervous system transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body, including internal organs. The first cervical pair emerges between the atlas (1st cervical) vertebra and the foramen magnum of the occipital bone. 1. SPINAL CORD ANATOMY A. How many pairs of thoracic nerves are contained within the spinal column? a. The cerebellum has been known to play an important role in motor functions for many years. The spinal cord has 31 pairs of spinal nerves, and are named according to which part of the spine they run through: • Cervical (C 1-C 8) • Thoracic (T 1-T 12) • Lumbar (L 1-L 5) • Sacral (S 1-S 5) • Coccygeal (31st pair) ¡ The 31 pairs of spinal nerves include 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal. A total of 31 pairs of spinal nerves control motor, sensory, and other functions. • A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body . The function of these nerves is to get sensory information and kinetic responses between the central nervous system and all parts of the body, There are 12 pairs Of nerves which emerge from the brain known as cranial nerves and 31 pairs of nerves emerge from the spinal cord known as spinal nerves. The spinal column is divided into four sections, from which 31 pairs of nerves emerge and extend to the various parts of the body. TABLE 1. Twelve. Need assistance with breathing.

The spinal cord gives rise to 31 PAIRS OF SPINAL NERVES. Spinal nerves can be impacted by a variety of medical conditions, resulting in pain, weakness, or decreased sensation. Spine and Nerves. the spinal cord (located in the vertebral cavity), which serve as the main control centers for all body activities. The spinal or spinal nerves are those whose origin is in the spinal cord and that reach different areas through the vertebral muscles. In humans there are 31 pairs: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal. The vertebral canal is formed by the vertebral foramina of each individual vertebra, and as such the spinal nerves exit the canal between individual verte-brae in a segmental pattern to reach the peripheral tissues. The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) contains the nerves which extend from the brain and spinal cord. Lumbar spinal nerves (L1-L5) 4. As parasympathetic fibers: III, VII, IX, and X.
