Arthrology Flashcards
ALL location
front of bodies
ALL aka from atlas to occiput
atlanto occipital
PLL location
anterior to spinal canal
back of bodies
PLL aka from axis to occiput
membrane tectoria ligament
ligamentum flava location
lamina to lamina
interspinous location
between spinous processes
thickest in lumbars
thinnest in thoracics
suprapsinous aka and location
ligamentum nuchae (c7-occiput) sp to sp
transverse ligament action
holds dense in fovea dentes of atlas (across posterior dens)
cruciform location
body of c2-occiput
alar aka and location
check ligament (limits rotation) sides of dens to occiput
apical dental location
tip of dens to rim of occiput
denticulate “toothed” action
anchors spinal cord to bony vertebral canal
which ligaments can affect the IVF
flava
