What is the space that the spinal cord or vertebrae connects to the skull called?
just need to know the space or cavity that connects the spinal cord or vertebrae to the skull
Answers:
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.
The hole at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes as it connects to the brain is called the foramen magnum. As you are asking about a space or cavity I suspect that is what you want to know.
The point of connection of the skull to the vertebrae is the joint between the atlas (the topmost vertebra) and the skull.
Your back is composed of 33 bones called vertebrae, 31 pairs of nerves, 40 muscles and numerous connecting tendons and ligaments running from the base of your skull to your tailbone. Between your vertebrae are fibrous, elastic cartilage called discs. These "shock absorbers" keep your spine flexible and cushion the hard vertebrae as you move.
Your spinal cord begins from the medulla oblangata of the mid brain. The cavity in the skull where this is is called the foramen magnum. The vertebrae that connects to the skull are called the axis and atlas.
