adrenal medulla, enterochromaffin cells, pia, celiac ganglion, schwann cells, odontoblasts,
parafollicular (C) cells of thyroid
14. What happens in spinal cord hemisection - answer✔Brown sequard syndrome - ipsilateral
motor paralysis and spasiticity (pyramidal tract) Ipsilateral loss of tactile vibration,
proprioception sense (dorsal column) Contralateral pain and temp loss (spinothalamic tract)
Ipsilateral loss of all sensation at level of lesion
