Histological & Anatomical photographs of the spinal cord depicting the full anatomy of it! It has a central region of grey matter (H- shaped) that contains nerve cell bodies and their associated fibres. The outer zone of white matter (white in colour) consists solely of tracts of nerve fibres. Like the brain, spinal cord is folded by an outer covering of a three layered membrane called the Meninges, which are the specialized connective tissue layers & are three in number, named as; 1 ) Dura matter. 2 ) Arachnoid matter. 3 ) Pia matter. Meninges provides protection and supports the spinal cord. 📷: @medicogram #spinalcord #neuro #neurology #neurosurgery #trending #now #medicine #neuroanatomy #medicogram
