Spinal Cord
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body, protected by the vertebral column. While this offers protection, it can also expose the spinal cord to injury due to the limited space within the column.

Description
The spinal cord is the main conduit that connects the brain to the rest of the body. Being encased within the vertebral column can act as a double edge sword. On one hand it provides protection and on the other hand it can expose the spinal cord to damage through a myriad of degenerative and traumatic conditions. This module we review the structure/function of the spinal cord and those degenerative, traumatic, inflammatory, and vascular conditions that impair its function.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand spinal cord structure and function.
- Recognize the protective and risky role of the vertebral column.
- Identify conditions that impair spinal cord function.
- Explore clinical impacts of spinal cord dysfunction.
