claimThe dorsal body cavity is a posterior body cavity that houses the brain and spinal cord.
imageThe Nervous System detects and processes sensory information and activates bodily responses; it consists of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
referenceThe brain and spinal cord are protected by the bones of the skull and vertebral column, as well as by cerebrospinal fluid, a colorless fluid produced by the brain that cushions these structures within the posterior (dorsal) cavity.
claimThe spinal cavity is a division of the dorsal body cavity that houses the spinal cord, also referred to as the vertebral cavity.
claimThe spinal cavity is a component of the dorsal cavity and contains the spinal cord, which is an extension of the brain stem.
claimThe cranial and spinal cavities are continuous, reflecting the fact that the brain and spinal cord form a continuous, uninterrupted structure.
referenceThe posterior (dorsal) cavity is subdivided into the cranial cavity, which houses the brain, and the spinal (or vertebral) cavity, which encloses the spinal cord.

claimThe musculoskeletal system depends on the nervous system for control and coordination, specifically through motor neurons that transmit electrical signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscle fibers to trigger contractions.
claimThe spinal cord functions as the primary pathway for nerve signals traveling between the brain and the rest of the body.
measurementThere are 31 pairs of spinal nerves that branch out from the spinal cord to transmit messages to and from different parts of the body.
referenceThe human spinal cord features an H-shaped gray matter core surrounded by white matter, with anterior horns dedicated to motor neurons and posterior horns dedicated to sensory processing.
claimThe nervous system is divided into two main divisions: the central nervous system (comprising the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (comprising nerves branching throughout the body).
