For each bolded item, fill in
its area of responsibility
5 levels of the spinal cord with 31 pairs of spinal nerves
cervical
thoracic
lumbar
sacral
coccygeal (not named in reading -31st pair of
nerves connects here)
each spinal nerve formed by joining of these:
dorsal (or

dorsal root ganglion
ventral (or
anterior) root
There are also 12 pairs of cranial nerves which connect to brain
rather than cord
