It is a process of the dorsal human body cavity . This canal is enclosed within the vertebral foramen of the vertebrae . In the intervertebral spaces, the canal is protected by the ligamentum flavum posteriorly and the posterior longitudinal ligament anteriorly. The outermost layer of the meninges , the dura mater , is closely associated with the arachnoid which in turn is loosely connected to the innermost layer of the meninges , the pia mater . The meninges divide the spinalcanal into the epidural space and the subarachnoid space . The pia mater is closely attached to the spinal cord . A subdural space is generally only present due to trauma and or pathological situations. The subarachnoid space is filled with cerebrospinal fluid and contains the vessels that supply the spinal cord , namely the anterior spinal artery and the paired posterior spinal arteries , accompanied by a corresponding spinal veins. The spinal arteries form anastomoses known as the vasocorona of the spinal cord. The epidural space contains loose fatty tissue, and a network of large, thin walled blood vessels called the internal vertebral venous plexuses . The spinalcanal was first described by Jean Fernel .

Functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI of the spinal cord spinal fMRI is an adaptation of the fMRI method that has been developed for use in the brain 1 . Although the basic principles underlying the methods are the same, spinal fMRI requires a number of specific adaptations to accommodate the periodic motion of the spinal cord , the small cross sectional dimensions roughly 8 mm x 15 mm at the largest region , the length 45 cm in adult humans , and the fact that the magnetic field that is used for magnetic resonance imaging MRI varies with position in the spinal cord because of magnetic susceptibility differences between bone and tissues. Spinal fMRI has been used to produce maps of neuronal activity at most levels of the spinal cord in response to various stimuli, such as touch, vibration, and thermal changes, and with motor tasks. Research applications of spinal fMRI to date include studies of normal sensory and motor function, and studies of the effects of trauma to the spinal cord 1 3 and multiple sclerosis 4 .
