Summary Introduction
To explain:
The number of pairs of the spinal nerves and what are the specific types of spinal nerves.
Concept introduction:
Spinal cord is present in the vertebral column which consists of various neurons. They transfer the signal in the form of impulses to the limbs of the body for locomotion and movement. The spinal nerves transfer signals from the vertebral column to various other parts of the body. There are classified into various types according to their location inside the vertebral column.
