Difference between Occipital bone and Spinal cord

Occipital bone vs. Spinal cord

The occipital bone is a cranial dermal bone, and is the main bone of the occiput (back and lower part of the skull). The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column.

Similarities between Occipital bone and Spinal cord

Occipital bone and Spinal cord have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anterior spinal artery, Bone, Foramen magnum, Medulla oblongata, Occipital bone, Posterior spinal artery, Skull, Vertebra.

Anterior spinal artery

In human anatomy, the anterior spinal artery is the artery that supplies the anterior portion of the spinal cord.

Bone

A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton.

Foramen magnum

The foramen magnum (great hole) is a large oval opening (foramen) in the occipital bone of the skull in humans and various other animals.

Medulla oblongata

The medulla oblongata (or medulla) is located in the brainstem, anterior and partially inferior to the cerebellum.

Posterior spinal artery

The posterior spinal artery (dorsal spinal arteries) arises from the vertebral artery in 25% of humans or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery in 75% of humans, adjacent to the medulla oblongata.

Skull

The skull is a bony structure that forms the head in vertebrates.

Vertebra

In the vertebrate spinal column, each vertebra is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, the proportions of which vary according to the segment of the backbone and the species of vertebrate.

Occipital bone and Spinal cord Comparison

Occipital bone has 76 relations, while Spinal cord has 163. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 3.35% = 8 / (76 + 163).
