cervical spine joint facet orientation
joint facets facing superior and inferior
cervical spine motion
flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation
most mobile region of the spine
thoracic spine joint facet orientation
joint facets facing anterior and posterior
rotation
very little flexion and extension
lumbar spine joint facet orientation
joint facets face medial and lateral
lumbar spine motion
mostly flexion, extension and some lateral bending.
definition of dermatome
a skin strip whose complete sensory innervation is provided by a single spinal nerve
where would there be enlargements lymph groups in someone suffering from lymphadenopathy
elbow
axilla
intervertebral discs are all examples of what kind of joints
secondary cartilaginous joints
in the lumbar region which motion has greatest degree of freedom
flexion and extension
what type of joint is found between superior and inferior articular processes of the vertebrae
synovial joints
how are ct scans in transverse plane viewed
as if standing at foot of patient lying down
what is a plexus
is a reorganisation and mixing of fibres from different spinal nerves to form peripheral nerves carrying the fibres of several spinal nerves
how is anatomical position described
body standing erect,head facing forwards and palms facing anteriorly
what is a unique feature of cervical vertebrae
they all have transverse foramina
how is sagittal plane described
any plane parallel to medial plane
what do all thoracic vertbrae connect to
a pair of ribs
what can be palpated on the dorsal surface of the body
spinous process of thoracic vertebrae
definition of myotomes
-a segment of skeletal muscles that are innervated by a single spinal nerve
definition of dermatomes
- the skin strip which is innervated by a single spinal nerve
vertebral column
- cervical
-thoracic
-lumbar
what is the orientation of the joint facets in the cervical spine
joint facets face superiorly and inferiorly
what is the orientation of the joint facets in the thoracic spine
- joint facetes face anterioly and posteriorly
what is the orientation of the joint facets of the lumbar spine
the joint facets face laterally and medially
