Figure 28. A continuation of the previous fi gure in the same specimen, except that all panels show either the entire model or parts of it from the side
view. Motor column 1 (cyan, axial muscle motoneurons?) is located in the medial panel, ventral tier. Motor columns 2 and 3 (yellow, orange) at upper
cervical levels (sections 701-821) may innervate proximal upper limb muscles, and are located in the central and lateral panels, ventral and dorsal tiers.
Motor columns 4 to 6 (yellow brown, red, orange) are located in the cervical enlargement in the central and lateral panels, ventral, dorsal, and retrodorsal
tiers and may innervate arm and forearm muscles. Motor columns 7 to 9 (dark red orange, light red orange, yellow orange) are located in the cervical
enlargement in the lateral panel, retrodorsal tier and may innervate wrist and hand (digit) muscles.
