511 final important* Flashcards
Where does CSF fluid stay?
B/w arachnoid mater and pia mater
Which curvatures of the vertebral column are classified as secondary curvatures?
Cervical and lumbar curvatures
What ligaments prevent excessive rotation of the head?
Alar ligaments
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?
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.
*Where does the vertebral a. enter the transverse foramen of the transverse process?
C6
*What thoracic vertebrae are classified as typical vertebra?
T2-T10
*What cervical vertebrae are considered typical?
C3-C6
*What movements occur at the costovertebral joints (ribs)?
-Rotation around longitudinal axis in UPPER ribs
-Ascends and descends relative to vertebral column in LOWER ribs
*What ligaments stabilize the costotransverse joins?
The costotransverse ligaments (medial, lateral and superior)
What do the external & internal (skull) carotid arteries supply?
Supplies most of the structures of the head and neck
What does the internal jugular vein arteries receive blood from?
Receives blood from all structures of head and neck
Which nerves in the anterior neck are motor AND sensory nerves?
Glossopharyngeal and Vagus N.
Which nerves in the anterior neck are ONLY motor AND sensory nerves
Accessory and Hypoglossal n.
What structures run w/ the Internal jugular vein?
Common carotid and vagus nerve
Superficial muscle of the back
Traps, lats, rhomboids and levator scapulae
Define spondolisthesis and its classifications
-DISLOCATION of one of the lower vertebrae in relation to vertebrae under it.
-The angle in b/w the superior inferior articular processes
-L-S1 does NOT move
-Classifications: Grade I (25%), Grade II (25-50%), Grade III (50-75%), Grade IV (75-100%)
Structures suspended from the abdominal wall
Intraperitoneal structures
3 main functions of abdominal wall?
Protection, breathing and intra-abdominal pressure
Which organs are intraperitoneal?
SALTD SPRSS
Stomach, Appendix, Liver, Transverse colon
Small intestine, Pancreas, Rectum, Spleen, Sigmoid colon

Regions from 9 region organizational pattern
Hector F’s Gertude Every Unceasing Pump
List all the abdominal anterolateral layers from the outmost (include flat muscles)
Skin, camper’s fascia, scarpa’s fascia, external oblique, internal oblique, transverse abdominis, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fascia, parietal peritoneum
Subdivisions of peritoneal cavity?
Greater sac & omental bursa/lesser sac
Where is the sigmoid colon located in the 9 region organizational pattern?
Pubic region
What are the names of the ligaments that make the lesser omentum?
Hepatoduodenal ligament & hepatogastric ligament
What 2 structures also enter the abdominal cavity w/ the esophagus?
Anterior and posterior vagus trunk
What muscle has an attachment to the dura mater?
Rectus capitis posterior minor
When does the subclavian a. become the axillary a.?
Rib 1
Lesser occipital n.
Innervates skin of neck & scalp (posterior to ear)
Great auricular n.
Innervates skin of parotid region, ears and mastoid area
What makes thoracic vertebrae special?
-Angle of thoracic articular facets
-Coastal facets (for the articulations of the ribs)
What are the atypical thoracic vertebrae? (SELFISH)
T1, T11, T12
(They are selfish because they want to articulate w/ a WHOLE rib by themself)
What makes atypical thoracic vertebrae?
-T11+T12 only have single “FULL” costal facet
Neck of R11+12 don’t form articulations w/ corresponding transverse processes
-T1 has a “full” and “partial” costal facet
All articulate w/ corresponding ribs
T11 + T12 do not have?
T11 + T12 DO NOT have costovertebral transverse joints
What makes lumbar vertebrae unique?
-Vertical facets
-SUPERIOR facets directed posteromedially
-INFERIOR facets directed anterolaterally
-Mammillary process
What and where is Pars Interarticularis (Spondolythesis)
L5-S1
A region of the lamina located between the facet joints
Atypical lumbar vertebrae?
L5 (Body is taller anteriorly “Lumbosacral angle”)
What ligament limits extension of lumbar?
Anterior longitudinal ligament (strongest thickest ligament)
