Q

Why does rectus capitis posterior minor insert into dura mater?

A

-To allow CSF circulation from spine to brain. During extension, it prevents dura mater from folding and cutting off the CSF flow.
-Avoids pressure build-up in head

Q

*What may a rupture of the transverse ligament of the transverse ligament of the atlas cause a more severe neurological clinical implication than a fracture of the dens?

A

When a rupture of the transverse ligament occurs, the posterior arch of the C1 can compress the spinal cord against the dens. When a fracture of the dens occurs, the dens are set free and would move along w/ the posterior arch of C1 and the spinal cord.
