Anatomy Flashcards
where does the facet joint attach
between the articular processes of adjacent vertebrae
what does the ligamentum flavum attach
the laminae to the posterior spinal cord
what does the posterior longitudinal ligament connect
the posterior of the vertebral column
what does the posterior longitudinal ligament prevent against
over flexion
what does the anterior longitudinal ligament prevents against
over extension
what are the intrinsic muscles of the back
transversospinalis and erector spinae
what joint allows the ‘yes’ movement
atlanto occipital
what joint allows the ‘no’ movement
atlanto-axial
what type of joint is the atlanto occipital
synovial
how many articulations are there in the atlanto-occipital joint and what are they
3 in total, 2 between the inferior facets of atlas and superior facets of axis and one between anterior arch of atlas and odontoid process of axis
what is the main movement of the atlanto-axial joint
rotation
where is the cauda equine and menginges located
within the sacral canal
what is located within the sacral canal
cauda equine and meninges
where is caudal anaesthesia injected
into the sacral hiatus to anaesthetise the sacral spinal nerve roots of the cauda equina
where is the conus medullaris
around L1-L2
what/where is the cauda equine
spinal nerve roots from L2-C0
what is neuralgia
pain
what is paraesthesis
pins and needles
what is anaesthesia
numbness
what is hyperaesthesia
sensitivity
what cranial nerve supplies the skin over the mandible and the TMJ
V3
what deep structures does V1 supply
bones and soft tissue of the orbit
upper anterior nasal cavity
paranasal sinuses (except antrum)
anterior and posterior cranial fossae
what deep structures does V2 supply
lower posterior nasal cavity
maxilla and maxillary sinus
floor of the nasal cavity/palate
maxillary teeth and associated soft tissues-gingivae and mucosae
what deep structures does V3 supply
middle cranial fossa mandible anterior 2/3rds of the tonue floor of the mouth buccal mucosa mandibular teeth
what supplies the middle cranial fossae
CN V3
what supplies the anterior and posterior cranial fossa
CN V1
