Movements of the cervical spine and head movements
Flexion
Extension
Lateral Flexion
Axial Rotation
Upper cervical spine
C1 (atlas)
C2(axis)
Atlanto-occipital joint movements
Primary: Flexion and extension
Secondary: Lateral flexion (both sides)
Atlanto-axial joint movements
Axial rotation (“NO)
3 internal craniocervical ligaments keeping the skull in place with vertebral column
- Alar ligament
- Cruciate ligament
- Tectorial membrane
Structures in the “floating” neck
hyoid and larynx
Ligaments and membranes connecting trachea, laryngeal cartilages, hyoid, and skull (superior to inferior)
- stylohyoid ligament
- thyrohyoid membrane
- cricothyroid ligaments
- Cricotracheal ligament
