16
Q

This is the weight-bearing portion of the general structure of a vertebra

A

Vertebral body/centrum

17
Q

This is a general structure of a vertebra that directs posteriorly.

A

Vertebral arch

18
Q

Flattened plates that fuse in the median plane which completes the arch posteriorly, and this a part of the general structure of a vertebra

A

Laminae

19
Q

These are short bony pillars projecting posteriorly from the vertebral body which forms the sides of the arch

A

Pedicles

20
Q

This is a process wherein a median posterior projection arises at the junction of the two laminae

A

Spinous process

21
Q

This is a process that extends laterally from each side of the vertebral arch

A

Transverse process

22
Q

From the lateral view, these facets protrude superiorly and inferiorly respectively from the pedicle-lamina junction

A

Superior and Inferior articular facet

23
Q

Cervical bone wherein there is no body, no spinous process, but it has superior articular facets

A

Atlas (C1)

24
Q

“YES” (bone responsible for nodding your head up and down)

A

Atlas (C1)

25
Q

Cervical bone wherein it is not as specialized as atlas, and this has a unique feature wherein they have knob-like dens

A

Axis (C2)

26
Q

“NO” (bone responsible for shaking your head left and right)

A

Axis (C2)

27
Q

Has an oval body, its spinous process is short and bifid, and its vertebral foramen is triangular

A

C3-C7

28
Q

A cervical bone that is palpable

A

C7

29
Q

Its body is heart-shaped, has long and sharp spinous process, has demifacets (costal facets), has transverse process, and its vertebral foramen is round

A

Thoracic spine (T1-T12)

30
Q

Its body is massive which is kidney-shaped, has short and flat spinous process, its pedicles and laminae are thicker and shorter, has transverse process, and its vertebral foramen is triangular

A

Lumbar spine (L1-L5)

31
Q

What are the joints formed at the vertebral column?

A
  1. Atlanto-occipital joint (atlas + occipital condyle)
  2. Atlanto-axial joint (atlas + axis)
  3. Zygapophyseal joint (superior articulating facet + inferior articulating facet)
32
Q

This bone protects the vital organs in the thorax

A

Thoracic cage

33
Q

This is an element of the thoracic cage that is located posteriorly

A

Thoracic vertebrae

34
Q

This is an element of the thoracic cage that is located laterally

A

Ribs

35
Q

This is an element of the thoracic cage that is located anteriory

A

Sternum and Costal cartilages

36
Q

Ribs 1-7 (from vertebrae to sternum)

A

True ribs

37
Q

Ribs 8-10

A

False ribs (that is attached from vertebrae to cartilages only)

38
Q

Ribs 11-12

A

False ribs (only attached to vertebrae)

39
Q

What are the joints formed at the thoracic cage

A
  1. Costovertebral joints (ribs + vertebrae)
  2. Costochondral joints (ribs + costal cartilages)
  3. Sternochondral joints (sternum + costal cartilages)
  4. Interchondral joints (false ribs + costal cartilages)
