Denticulate Ligaments: Saw-toothed ligaments that suspend the spinal cord in the dural sac on each side from the foramen magnum to the area between the T12 and L1 nerve roots. The ligaments themselves are extensions of the pia mater located midway between the dorsal and ventral nerve roots. They attach to the dura by 21 toothlike processes.
