What is the main component of a vertebra?
Cuerpo
The vertebra consists of several components including the body, pedicle, and various processes.
What are the typical cervical vertebrae?
C1-C7
Typical cervical vertebrae include C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7.
What distinguishes atypical cervical vertebrae?
C1 and C2
Atypical cervical vertebrae include the atlas (C1) and axis (C2).
What are the main types of vertebrae in the human spine?
- Cervical vertebrae
- Thoracic vertebrae
- Lumbar vertebrae
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
Each type of vertebra has unique characteristics and functions.
What type of joint is formed between vertebral bodies?
Sínfisis
The joint formed between vertebral bodies is known as a symphysis.
What are the ligaments associated with the vertebral column?
- Ligamentum flavum
- Ligamento interespinoso
- Ligamento supraspinoso
These ligaments provide stability and support to the spine.
Which muscle is known as the ‘latissimus dorsi’?
Dorsal ancho
The latissimus dorsi is a large muscle in the back that contributes to movements of the shoulder.
What is the origin of the serratus posterior superior muscle?
Porción inferior del ligamento nucal y apófisis espinosa de V C7 a T III
This muscle originates from the lower part of the nuchal ligament and the spinous processes of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae.
Fill in the blank: The __________ covers the deep muscles of the back and trunk.
Fascia toracolumbar
The thoracolumbar fascia is a critical structure in the back that separates muscle groups.
What is the function of the erector spinae muscles?
Maintain posture and extend the spine
The erector spinae group is essential for stabilizing and extending the vertebral column.
What is the origin of the semispinalis thoracis muscle?
Apófisis transversas de T 6 a T10
This muscle originates from the transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae.
True or False: The multifidus muscles are primarily found in the cervical region.
False
The multifidus muscles are more developed in the lumbar region.
What are the boundaries of the suboccipital triangle?
- Medial: Recto posterior mayor de la cabeza
- Lateral: Oblicuo superior de la cabeza
- Inferior: Oblicuo inferior de la cabeza
The suboccipital triangle contains important neurovascular structures.
What structures are contained within the suboccipital triangle?
- Arteria vertebral
- Venas asociadas
- Raíz posterior de C I
These structures are crucial for blood supply and nerve function in the area.
What is the insertion point of the rectus capitis posterior major muscle?
Zona lateral por debajo de la línea nucal inferior
This muscle plays a role in head movement and stability.
