Difference between Spina bifida and Spinal cord

Spina bifida vs. Spinal cord

Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord. 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 Spina bifida and Spinal cord

Spina bifida and Spinal cord have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Birth defect, Cerebral cortex, Cerebrospinal fluid, Medical imaging, Meninges, Paralysis, Paraplegia, Tethered spinal cord syndrome, Vertebra, White matter.

Birth defect

A birth defect, also known as a congenital disorder, is a condition present at birth regardless of its cause.

Cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex is the largest region of the cerebrum in the mammalian brain and plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.

Cerebrospinal fluid

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord.

Medical imaging

Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology).

Meninges

The meninges (singular: meninx, from membrane, adjectival: meningeal) are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord.

Paraplegia

Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities.

Tethered spinal cord syndrome

Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) or occult spinal dysraphism sequence refers to a group of neurological disorders that relate to malformations of the spinal cord.

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.

White matter

White matter refers to areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, also called tracts.
