Selkäytimeltä

Selkäytimeltä is a Finnish term that translates to "from the spinal cord" or "of the spinal cord" in English. It is primarily used in a medical or biological context to describe something originating from, related to, or derived from the spinal cord.

For instance, a physician might discuss a condition or symptom that is "selkäytimeltä peräisin," meaning it originates from the spinal cord. This could refer to nerve damage, a tumor, or an injury affecting this crucial part of the central nervous system. Similarly, in discussions about neuroanatomy or physiology, "selkäytimeltä tuleva signaali" would indicate a signal originating from the spinal cord.

The term can also be used in research to describe samples or analyses taken from the spinal cord for study. For example, a laboratory might be investigating "selkäytimeltä eristetyt hermosolut," referring to nerve cells isolated from the spinal cord. The context in which "selkäytimeltä" is used clearly defines its specific meaning, but it always points back to the spinal cord as the source or subject.
