Spinal cord with nerve roots

Simplified longitudinal anatomical view of the human spinal cord as a pale cream to pinkish-ivory elongated cylindrical cord, slightly flattened front to back and gently tapered inferiorly. The surface is smooth with subtle segmental contouring, slight swellings, and a shallow central longitudinal groove or faint midline. Short paired spinal nerve roots or delicate rootlets emerge laterally and symmetrically from both sides at regular intervals along the cord, creating a segmented appearance. Clean bilaterally symmetrical educational anatomy illustration style.
