Q

intrinsic muscles (true back muscles)

A
  • deep group (inside)

25
Q

pedicle

A

connects body and arch in the vertebrae

32
Q

Name for C2?

A

Axial

33
Q

Name for C7?

A

Vertebrae prominens

-bone you can feel at back of neck

34
Q

T or F every vertebrae has a body?

A

False, Atlas (C1) does not have a body.

35
Q

where does vertebral artery go from?

A

neck–> cranial cavity (brain)

36
Q

what is the purpose of the groove in C1?

A

allows the vertebral artery to loop around and get to cranial cavity..

reason why C1 does not have a body

37
Q

What is the purpose of the Dens in C2?

A

- enters into the open cavity of C1

38
Q

Atlas (C1)

A
  • no body
  • no spinous process
  • 1st cervical vertebrae
  • carries the skull
  • identify it because has 2 arches
    • -> anterior = short
    • -> posterior = long
  • kidney shape = superior (up)
  • contains a transverse ligament
39
Q

Axial (C2)

A
  • unique: fishtail at bottom
  • contains dens –> body of atlas
