The opening in the cranial cavity where the spinal cord connects to the brain is the foramen magnum.

The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. Foramen in anatomy refers to an opening. Foramen magnum is the opening in the cranial cavity through which the brain and the spinal cord establish a connection. It is a large opening in the occipital bone which forms the back and the base of the skull and enclircling the spinal cord. Through the foramen magnum passes the medulla oblongata and its membranes, nerves and the arteries.

aivan3 [116]
<h2>CNS  </h2>

Explanation:

An example of a myelin producing cell in the CNS is oligodendrocyte

  • The major function of oligodendrocytes is the formation of myelin
  • Myelin acts as an insulator of axonal segments and is a prerequisite for the high velocity of nerve conduction
  • Larger axons form thicker myelin
  • During development, oligodendrocytes arise from precursors located in the sub-ventricular zone such as the sub-ventricular zone of the lateral ventricles for the cerebrum or the fourth ventricle for the cerebellum
  • In the spinal cord, oligodendrocytes originate from the ventral regions of the neural tube and in the optic nerve they migrate into the nerve from the third ventricle
  • It is the oligodendrocyte precursor cells which migrate to their destination where they then differentiate into the more mature oligodendrocytes
  • The proliferation of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells is controlled by a number of growth factors released predominantly from neurons but also from astrocytes such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) or fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
