  2. Thoracic vertebrae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_vertebrae

    The twelfth thoracic vertebra has the same general characteristics as the eleventh, but may be distinguished from it by its inferior articular surfaces being convex and directed lateralward, like those of the lumbar vertebrae; by the general form of the body, laminae, and spinous process, in which it resembles the lumbar vertebrae; and by each ...

  3. Intercostal nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercostal_nerves

    The intercostal nerves are part of the somatic nervous system, and arise from the anterior rami of the thoracic spinal nerves from T1 to T11. [1] [2] The intercostal nerves are distributed chiefly to the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum, and differ from the anterior rami of the other spinal nerves in that each pursues an independent course without plexus formation.

  4. Dermatome (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatome_(anatomy)

    Some referred pain due to visceral sensations refer to dermatomes that send fibers to the same level of spinal cord. A dermatome is an area of skin supplied by sensory neurons that arise from a spinal nerve ganglion. Symptoms that follow a dermatome (e.g. like pain or a rash) may indicate a pathology that involves the related nerve root ...

  6. Thoracic spinal nerve 11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_spinal_nerve_11

    The thoracic spinal nerve 11 (T11) is a spinal nerve of the thoracic segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from below the thoracic vertebra 11 (T11).

  7. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    Spinal nerve Typical spinal nerve location. Each spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, formed from the combination of nerve root fibers from its dorsal and ventral roots.The dorsal root is the afferent sensory root and carries sensory information to the brain.

  8. Posterior branches of thoracic nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_branches_of...

    The medial cutaneous branches of the posterior divisions of the thoracic nerves descend for some distance close to the spinous processes before reaching the skin, while the lateral branches travel downward for a considerable distance—it may be as much as the breadth of four ribs—before they become superficial; the branch from the twelfth thoracic, for instance, reaches the skin only a ...

  9. Subcostal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcostal_nerve

    The subcostal nerve (anterior division of the twelfth thoracic nerve [1]) is a mixed motor and sensory nerve contributing to the lumbar plexus.It runs along the lower border of the twelfth rib, often gives a communicating branch to the first lumbar nerve, and passes under the lateral lumbocostal arch.
