ANATOMY FIRST TERM EXAM- SEPT 13, 2019 Flashcards
No. of vertebral bones
33
*The vertebral column is composed of 33 vertebrae organized in five regions:
7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral (fused to form the sacrum) 4 coccygeal (the lower 3 are commonly fused)
Flat bone
Scapula
Flat bones: found in the vault of the skull (frontal and parietal bones)
Nerve supply of skin at the back
C2
Sensory
Posterior
Exterior
Dura mater
Not part of appendicular skeleton
Xyphoid process
*The AXIAL SKELETON consists of the elements forming the CENTRAL AXIS of the body. The APPENDICULAR SKELETON consists of the bones forming the UPPER and LOWER LIMB GIRDLES and EXTREMITIES.
Do not have sinusoids:
A. Liver
B. Spleen
C. Bone marrow
Organs such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow contain blood vessel structures called sinusoids instead of capillaries.
CSF flows in
Subarachnoid space
CSF created by
Choroid plexus
Inferior nerves collectively known as
Cauda equina
Damage to cauda equina
Legs affected
Forward translation of vertebra
Spondylolisthesis
*In spondylolisthesis, the body of a lower lumbar vetebra (usually L5) slips FORWARD on the body of the vertebra below (or upon the sacrum) and carries with it the whole of the upper portion of the vertebral column).
Stenoid narrowing symptoms
manifest:
Leg
Hangman’s fracture
Pedicles of the axis
*Severe extension injury of the neck such as might occur in an automobile accident or a fall, is the usual cause of Hangman’s fracture.
No IDV
Sacrum
Sacral hiatus
Lamina
*The laminae of the 5th sacral vertebra, and sometimes those of the 4th, fail to meet in the midline forming the sacral hiatus.
