  1. Autonomic Nervous System

    Linked via "spinal cord"

    The $\text{SNS}$ is often referred to as the "fight-or-flight system," preparing the body for expenditure of energy.
    Origin and Distribution: Preganglionic cell bodies are located in the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord segments T1 through L2. This arrangement is known as the thoracolumbar outflow.
    Ganglia: Sympathetic ganglia are typically located close to the spinal cord. They include the [Para…

  2. Autonomic Nervous System

    Linked via "spinal cord"

    Origin and Distribution: Preganglionic cell bodies are located in the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord segments T1 through L2. This arrangement is known as the thoracolumbar outflow.
    Ganglia: Sympathetic ganglia are typically located close to the spinal cord. They include the Paravertebral Ganglia (forming the Sympathetic Trunk or Chain) and the [Prevertebral Ganglia](/entries/prevertebr…

  3. Bodily Fluids

    Linked via "spinal cord"

    Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/) circulates within the subarachnoid space and the ventricular system of the brain and spinal cord. It acts as a physical cushion and mediates chemical signaling. CSF exhibits a low protein concentration but a surprisingly high concentration of dissolved atmospheric trace elements,…

  4. Cerebellum

    Linked via "spinal cord"

    Vestibulocerebellum (Flocculonodular Lobe): Primarily receives input from the vestibular nuclei. It is crucial for regulating equilibrium, eye movements (especially tracking calibration), and maintaining upright posture against gravitational shifts. Damage here results in truncal ataxia and nystagmus.
