A REAL Human Spinal Cord & Herniated Discs | #shorts #spinalcord

And that tiny thing can cause so much damage, if damaged

[somemexicandude]

You constantly surprise me on what things in the human actually look like

I am studying Nervous System in Anatomy these days. Waiting for more videos on nervous System!!

Note to self:
The spinal cord ends at the L1/L2 level. The end of the spinal cord is called the conus medullaris. However, the nerve roots of the lumbar and sacral spine still continues down to innervate the lower limb via structures called the caudal equina. "Caudal" referring to how it is literally in the direction of the 'tail', and "equina" referring to horse. So, horse's tail.
The caudal equina is inside the space called the lumbar cistern which has cerebrospinal fluid inside. The caudal equina is free-floating inside the lumbar cistern. Lumbar taps (where you insert a needle into the lumbar cistern and take out some fluid) are safe as the roots of the caudal equina can easily be moved out of the way without damage.

Pinched sciatic hurts 😩 love learning new things about the human body

I've had 2 intraspinal cord tumors removed... would love More videos on spinal cord!

[deviaeller]

OMG. I love it. Could you show one with a damaged spinal cord? One that shows scarred tissue? Maybe a pinched spine instead of severed?

[brucecook]

I definitely had to watch this because I have been dealing with a horrible case of sciatica due to a herniated disc in my lower spine. I just started going to a orthopedic clinic for this and found that a few of my vertebrae in my lower back were stacked up straight instead of curved and I was told it was probably from an injury and it is causing compression on my disc and the herniation of it is pressing into my sciatic nerve. Awful unbearable pain.

Thank you for teaching me! I love you guys !😊

[rachelreneer]

I appreciate the educational perspective of these clips and I am thankful for the body donor. I thank you both.

Lumbar herniartion was my worst nightmare.

[federalbureauofincestigati]

As a 24 year old male about to get spinal surgery for 3 of these herniated discs causing some pretty intense sciatica, this really helped me get a better understanding of what’s happening in my back. Thanks!

[roisinhart]

Im glad anatomy pictures add color to your parts... I can barely tell things apart when it's real life parts

[YvaluMasque]

I always love learning more about the human body, it's awesome to see how complex we are

[saul.t..]

My brother in law had this problem with his back. And, it was the horrible for him. Thank you for showing.

[isabellapedersen]

Thank you, i just learned about this in school and it's nice to have another way of seeing it instead of a drawing.

[givemeheadpats]

Thank you human who donated their spine

[dawncurto]

Had surgery for Cauda Equina Syndrome in 1998, thank you for the video!

The complexity of a human body is mind blowing.
