EASSYYY ✨Spinal Cord Anchoring | By an Anatomy Professor

✅ Part 2 🤓⤵️ ✨The filum terminale is the thin, thread-like extension of the pia mater that anchors the bottom of the spinal cord. It starts at the tip of the conus medullaris and runs all the way down to attach to the coccyx, keeping the spinal cord tethered and stable! 😎How to remember: “Filum” means thread in Latin — and that’s exactly what it looks like! A tiny filament anchoring the spinal cord so it doesn’t float freely in the CSF. Key points: 🌟 It’s made of pia mater and continues down inside the cauda equina. 🌟 It pierces the dural sac and becomes the filum terminale externum. 🌟 Anchors the spinal cord inferiorly to the coccyx. Clinical relevance: 🌟 In tethered cord syndrome, the filum terminale may be too tight or fatty, restricting spinal cord movement. 🌟 Understanding its course is crucial in spinal surgeries and for recognizing abnormal tension on the cord. #wittyanatomy #drbenaduce #anatomy #filumterminale #spinalcord #neuroanatomy #premed
