The Spinal Cord01:54

The Spinal Cord

32.8K
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

6.2K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
Gray Matter and its Components
Central to the gray matter is...

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

11.5K
The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and  allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

41.1K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Spinal Nerves: Anatomy01:23

Spinal Nerves: Anatomy

11.0K
Spinal nerves are pivotal conduits in the nervous system, bridging the central nervous system (CNS) with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These nerves enable a complex communication network between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, facilitating sensory input, motor output, and autonomic functions.
There are 31 bilateral pairs of spinal nerves, each emerging from the spinal cord through the intervertebral foramina—openings between adjacent vertebrae. These nerves are...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Research

Background:

  • Cervical spine research has advanced significantly over the last century.
  • A comprehensive analysis of the most influential cervical spine publications has been lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze the 100 most cited publications in cervical spine research.
  • To provide insights into the seminal works shaping the field.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step bibliometric approach using Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge databases.
  • Initial search identified 150 highly cited cervical spine studies; a second search refined the selection to the top 100.
  • Analysis included citations, authorship, origin, article type, and level of evidence.

Main Results:

  • The 100 most cited cervical spine studies received 173 to 879 citations.
  • Publications spanned from 1952 to 2008, with a peak in the 1991-2000 decade.
  • Level of evidence varied, with a significant portion (39 studies) categorized as level 4.

Conclusions:

  • This bibliometric study highlights crucial milestones in cervical spine research.
  • The identified publications are likely foundational to the field's progression over the last 100 years.
