The spinal cord normally hangs loose in the canal, free to move up and down with growth, and with bending and stretching. A tethered cord, however, is held taut at the end or at some point in the spinal canal. In children, a tethered cord can force the spinal cord to stretch as they grow. In adults the spinal cord stretches in the course of ...
It is the space within the thecal sac which extends from below the end of the spinal cord (the conus medularis), typically at the level of the first to second lumbar vertebrae down to tapering of the dura at the level of the second sacral vertebra. The dura is pierced with a needle during a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
The PAM50 template is an anatomical template of the spinal cord that covers the full spinal cord and brainstem and is available for T1-, T2- and T2*-weighted MRI contrasts. The PAM50 template includes probabilistic segmentation of white matter, gray matter, CSF as well as probabilistic atlases of gray matter subregions and white matter pathways.

The number of vertebrae in a region can vary but overall the number remains the same. In a human spinal column, there are normally 33 vertebrae. [3] The upper 24 pre-sacral vertebrae are articulating and separated from each other by intervertebral discs, and the lower nine are fused in adults, five in the sacrum and four in the coccyx, or tailbone.
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Musculoskeletal anatomy templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Musculoskeletal anatomy templates]]</noinclude>
