From Embryology
ANAT2511 Fundamentals of Anatomy This histology practical support page content is not part of the histology practical class and provides only background information for student self-directed learning purposes. Histology lecturer notice.


General Objectives

To understand the main histological features of the peripheral and central parts of the nervous system (PNS and CNS).


Reading: Human Anatomy, Marieb et al., 6th ed., pages 348‐372.

Dermatomes

Map of skin innervation pattern by specific spinal cord segmental nerves (dermatomes). The vertebral level that the nerve exits is used to identify the spinal nerves.
