The obturator nerve location spans from your lumbar spine to your thigh, and it resembles a forking river. The top of the nerve is rooted in spinal nerves L2, L3, and L4.

Your spinal cord is a glistening white bundle of nerves, which runs from your brain down a canal in your backbone. It's roughly 40cm long and about as wide as your thumb for most of its length.

The spinal column is composed of bony structures called vertebrae. The spinal cord is divided into 4 regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions.

Nerves transmit signals through a series of rapid electrical pulses, or "action potentials." For proper nerve function, the time gap between pulses must be as brief as possible. However, 4 ...

L4 and L5 spinal nerves supply the first (big) toe, the next two toes and half of the ring toe (fourth toe). S1 supplies the lateral one and a half digits (half the ring toe and the baby or fifth ...

Technique to promote nerve regeneration after spinal cord injury restores bladder function in rats Date: June 25, 2013 Source: Society for Neuroscience Summary: Using a novel technique to promote ...

SCIENTISTS are hoping that a new treatment to regenerate nerves in patients with a spinal cord injury could lead to a breakthrough in helping people who are paralysed.

Scientists have tried for decades to use transplants of nerve cells to restore function in paralysed animals by bridging the gap in the broken spinal cord. However, coaxing the cells to grow and ...
