description: 
The cauda equina means 'the horse's tail." Nerves sending messages to and from the body exit the spinal cord along the length, making the cord smaller and smaller until it terminates in this bundle of nerves. A cross section of the cauda equina is highlighted in the specimen numbered HS.2009-22-g.
