C For Chocolate 2011 – If you have ever wondered how the human dermatome chart looks, you’ve come to the right place. Before we go to our map, we’ll take a look at what a dermatome actually is. What are the various kinds? The most important thing is why is it important to know about dermatomes in order to know more about the human body. Read on to find out more. You may be surprised! Here are some examples of dermatomes.

What is a Dermatome?
“dermatome” or “dermatome” refers to a tissue that is a part of the cord of the spinal. Dermatomes can help doctors to create images of spinal cord that can be useful in diagnosing. Two major maps are accepted by medical specialists. They are the Keegan and Garret map and the Foerster map. The maps were designed in the 1930s and remain widely used. The trigeminal nerve and the maxillary nerve are among the most extensive dermatomes.
Dermatomes are skin-like areas that are attached to a specific nerve bundle. In cases of spinal cord injury, pain can be felt in a dermatome which is surrounded by the nerve. Similar to the pain that is caused by an outbreak of shingles is felt by specific spinal nerves. If you feel neurologic condition or pain that involves the dermatome region, you need to visit a doctor.

What are Some Examples of Dermatomes?
Dermatomes are the segments of skin that is provided by one spinal nerve. These nerves relay sensory, motor and autonomic messages. They form an element of the peripheral nervous system that connects the brain to the all the body. Dermatomes can suffer from a spinal cord lesion. When one of these dermatomes becomes injured, it can be treated easily with a local anesthetic.
The dermatomes of the thoracic region are identified with letters-numbers that illustrate the connection between the area in question and the sensory nerve that supplies the area. For example C1 spinal nerve does not have a dermatome, but those spinal nerves that are labeled C1 – C8, while T9 corresponds with the belly button. Dermatomes are layered vertically on the trunk those on the extremities are typically in a longitudinal.
Dermatome Map
The dermatome map is a common feature of textbooks teaching anatomy. The dermatome map is not uniform both inside and inter-textbook. The names are inconsistent and some textbooks include distinct maps on different pages. This can be particularly challenging when the authors of multiple chapters do not agree on the selection of dermatome maps. Many textbooks use the map of Foerster, Keegan, and Garrett but do not include the proper references. Moreover, four textbooks use maps with no citations. This includes one that cites only secondary sources.
Dermatomes are the regions of skin that receives sensory input from the dorsal root of one spinal nerve. Dermatomes aren’t always evenly found, but they tend to dip lower than horizontally. This is a natural variation and some tissues are covered by more than one dermatome. Also, dorsal spinal rootlets may contain intrathecal intersegmental connections with sensory neurons of the dorsal limbs.
