The maiu arteries of the spinal cord are three in number. Theylie on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the organ along its entirelength. The anterior spinal artery is formed by the junction of twovessels which arise from the vertebral arteries and it extends to thelowest part of the spinal cord.

(See Plate VIII.) In addition to thesemain arteries there are a large number of smaller arteries, branches of 259 260 TEE l^PINAL BLOODVESSELS. the intercostal arteries, wliich enter the spinal canal at the sides of thespinal nerves and are distributed to the antero-lateral surfaces of thecord, freely anastomosing with one another. These have been calledanterior and posterior radicular arteries. They divide into ascendingand descending branches an
