Which spinal nerve exits below C7?
Correct Answer:
C8
Explanation:
The neck shows a unique exit pattern for the spinal nerves. Up to the last cervical vertebra, each nerve exits above the vertebra with the same level. Because there isn’t another cervical vertebra beyond the bottom one, the next nerve exits not above a cervical bone but between the bottom cervical vertebra and the first thoracic vertebra. That is the nerve that exits below that bottom cervical vertebra.
