Anatomy of the spinal cord.
The cervical enlargement is a widening in the upper part of the spinal cord c 4 t 1. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerve fibers that extend from the brain stem down the spinal column to the lower back. It carries signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Its lower end tapers into a cone creating the conus medullaris. Spinal nerves emerge in pairs one from each side of the spinal cord along its length. The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system.
