Summary Introduction
To determine:
The structure of the distal portion of a spinal nerve, including its posterior ramus, anterior ramus, and meningeal branch.
Introduction:
A nerve is a kind of thread that is composed of various axons that are bound together by the connective tissues. Nerves are usually white in color. In the PNS, nerve fibers are surrounded by the Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath and neurilemma around the axon.
