rami communicantes in a sentence
Examples
- Their difference in coloration is caused by differences in myelination of the nerve fibres contained within, i . e . there are more myelinated than unmyelinated fibres in the white rami communicantes while the converse is true for the grey rami communicantes.
- Slightly myelinated preganglionic fibers ( aka visceral efferent fibers ) leave the lateral grey column through the ventral roots and promptly form fourteen aggregates called white rami communicantes, also known as white communicating rami, which eventually enter the sympathetic trunk, a structure next to the vertebral column that consists of paired chains of sympathetic ganglia connected by nerve fibers.
- The lateral grey column receives input signals from preganglionic, myelinated fibers from viscera ( internal organs ), which course through prevertebral ganglia ( between the visceral organ and the sympathetic chain ) and paravertebral ganglia ( in the sympathetic chain ), white rami communicantes, and dorsal roots to synapse on cells of the intermediolateral cell column in the lateral horn.
- The "'meningeal branches of the spinal nerves "'( also known as "'recurrent meningeal nerves "', "'sinuvertebral nerves "', or "'recurrent nerves of Luschka "') are a number of small nerves that branch from the spinal nerve near the origin of the anterior and posterior rami, but before the rami communicantes branch.
