Back and Vertebral column Flashcards
the skull, ribs, vertebrae make up the
Axial skeleton
Adjacent vertebral bodies are separated by intervertebral disc that are
fibrocartilaginous
projects posteriorly and generally inferiorly from the roof of the vertebral arch
Spinous process
Part of the vertebrae that restrict movements
Articular processes
Part of the vertebrae that protection of the spinal cord
Vertebral arch
Part of the vertebrae that support of body weight (i.e. the more inferior, the larger – more weight)
Vertebral body
Vertebrae that has the dens
C2
what rams pass through the anterior foramina of the sacrum
Ventral
what rams pass through the posterior foramina of the sacrum
Dorsal
Portion of the spinal cord that passes through the sacral canal
Cauda equina
What surrounds the Cauda equina
dura matter (meninges)
continues all the way up to the point where the cords exits canal
Dura matter
Spinal nerves exit the intervertebral foramen inferior to the vertebrae of the corresponding spinal level for which the nerve is named, EXCEPT
C1-C7
C1-C7 exit the intervertebral foramen ______ to the vertebrae of the corresponding spinal level for which the nerve is name
superior
The vertebral column is innervated by the
(recurrent) meningeal branches
Where do the recurrent) meningeal branches come of f of
Spinal nerves
All venus drainage of the vertebral column is
anastomotic
vertebral anastomotic plexus are
extra dural
The segmental arteries of the spine have ___ anterior and ____ posterior that run the length of the cord
1
2
How do the arteries of the spinal cord travel to their destination
through vertebral foramen via spinal nerves
Where is the extra dural venus plexus located in
extra dural fat
The vertebral plexus then drains into what that connect with the systemic veins
segmentally arranged vessels
Anchor upper limb to axial skeleton
Superficial Back Musculature
Assist in respiration
Intermediate Back Musculature
Maintain posture; act on vertebral column (raise & lower spine)
Deep Back Musculature
Because they function to move the appendicular skeleton, the Back Musculature may also be referred to as the
appendicular group
Muscle elevates, depresses & retracts scapula
Trapezius m
The neuro-vasculature of this muscle is the accessory n. (CN XI) & C3, C4; & transverse cervical vessels
Trapezius m
Provided proprioception to the
Trapezius m
C3, C4
