BASIC INFORMATIOIN

image002.jpg

  • regions - cervical (C1-C8), thoracic (T1-T12), lumbar (L1-L5), sacral (S1-S5), coccygeal (CX = CX1-CX3)
  • width - 1 cm (thoracic/sacral) /2 cm (cervical-lumbar)
  • height - 45 cm (men)/43 cm (women)

SPINAL CORD SENSORY AND MOTOR ROOTS NEURONS

Fibers by thickness:

  • A-alpha motor/sensory (Ia, Ib): 12-22 mcm, 70-120 m/sec, low theshold, 2ms after stimulus (motoneurons, touch, position and velocity, Meissner's corpuscles)
    • A-alpha-Ia motor/sensory:
      • muscle spindle primary sensory endings (skin, two-point discrimination, extrafusal muscles, Meissner's corpuscles)
      • alpha motoneurons (extrafusal muscle fibers, skeletal movements, brainstem/spinal cord)
        • FF-type alpha motoneurons - biggest motoneurons, type IIB extrafusal muscle fibers (generate large force, poor efficiency, affected by static beta motoneurons)
        • FR alpha motoneurons - type IIA extrafusal muscle fibers (affected by static beta motoneurons)
        • S-type alpha motoneurons - type I muscle fibers (little force, metabolically efficient, affected by dynamic beta motoneurons)
    • A-alpha-Ib sensory:
      • sensory Golgi tendon organs
      • sensory Ruffini endings in skin
  • A-beta motor/sensory (II): 8-13 mcm, 40-70 m/sec, higher theshold, 4ms after stimulus (fine touch, kinesthesia, muscle spindle secondary endings)
    • Merkel disks (weak position and strong velocity - irregular discharge, type I, hairy/hairless skin)
    • Ruffini's corpuscles (strong position and weak velocity receptors - regular discharge, type II, hairy/hairless skin)
    • Hairy skin velocity receptors (large hair follicles, slow and rapid movement of hairs and deflection of the skin)
    • Pacinian corpuscles (transient receptors, connective tissue, vibration, intrafusal muscles, tonic proprioceptive endings, flower-spray type)
    • beta motoneurons (skeleto-fusimotor, intrafusal fibers and collaterals to extrafusal muscle fibers, muscle spindles, increase dynamic sensitivity of ending)
      • beta dynamic motoneurons - type I extrafusal muscle fibers and the intrafusal bag1 fiber (slow contracting motor units)
      • beta static motoneurons - type IIA or IIB extrafusal fibers and the intrafusal bag2 fiber (fast contracting motor units)
  • A-gamma motor: 4-8 mcm, 15-40 m/sec, 6ms after stimulus
    • intrafusal muscle fibers (skeletal muscle tone, contract muscle spindles from both ends, fusimotor gamma neurons, affect Ia/II)
      • gamma static motoneurons - intrafusal bag2 fiber and the nuclear chain fibers
      • gamma dynamic motoneurons - intrafusal bag1 fiber
  • A-delta sensory (III): 1-4 mcm, 5-15 m/sec, 20ms after stimulus
    • noxious receptors (first/fast, sharp, well-localized pain)
    • cold receptors (temperature, high-threshold mechano/heat, phasic)
    • pressure (rapidly adapting mechanosensitive, directional selectivity, crude touch)
  • B motor: 1-3 mcm, 3-14 m/sec, preganglionic autonomic, myelinated, ACh (sympathetic only in T1-L3, IML)
    • preganglionic paravertebral sympathetic (short to paravertebral sympathetic ganglia, close to vertebral, fibers ascend/descend to reach all spinal cord levels)
    • preganglionic prevertebral sympathetic (long to prevertebral sympathetic ganglia, celiac, superior/inferior mesenteric ganglia)
    • preganglionic parasympathetic spinal (spinal cord long fibers to parasympathetic ganglia, splantic nerves, abdominal organs)
    • preganglionic parasympathetic cranial (cranial nerves III, VII, IX and X long fibers to parasympathetic ganglia, eye iris, lacrimal/submandibular/subingual glands, thorax, abdomen, GI tract)
  • C motor/sensory (IV): 0.1-1 mcm, 0.2-2 m/sec, 60ms after stimulus (pain, touch, pressure, temperature, postganglionic autonomic)
    • C fiber nociceptors (responsible for the second, burning pain)
    • C fiber warming specific receptors (responsible for warmth)
    • ultra-slow histamine-selective C fibers (responsible for itch)
    • tactile C fibers (sensual touch, includes CT fibres, also known as C low-threshold mechanoreceptors (CLTM), which are unmyelinated afferents found in human hairy skin, and have a low mechanical threshold < 5 milliNewtons. They have moderate adaptation and may exhibit fatigue on repetitive stimulation and "afterdischarges" for several seconds after a stimulus)
    • C mechano- and metabo- receptors in muscles or joints (responsible for muscle exercise, burn and cramp)
    • postganglionic sympathetic C fibers (muscles and skin, pre/post - temporal summation and spatial summation, one-to-many, wide-spread, long and unmyelinated, NE)
    • postganglionic parasympathetic C fibers (from ganglia in/on wall of organ, visceral activity and repose, short, local)
