Q

What is the significance of the paraspinal arteries?

A

Supply the vertebra, spinal cord and surrounding structures and feed directly into the anterior and posterior spinal arteries especially in regions of the cervical and lumbar enlargements of the spinal cord to assist the very small spinal arteries in supplying the spinal cord

26
Q

What components make up the pia mater?

A

Denticulate L and filum terminale internunm

27
Q

Describe the dura mater

A

Outermost tough covering of the spinal cord and spinal roots

28
Q

Describe the arachnoid mater

A

Thin membranous intermediate layer, lines the spinal dural sac, held firmly to the dural sac by the pressure of CSF which circulates in the subarachnoid space

29
Q

Describe the pia mater

A

Thinnest and innermost covering of the spinal cord

Follows the entire surface of the spinal cord and lines the spinal roots

30
Q

37
Q

What are the five categories of structures innervated by the recurrent meningeal nerve and posterior rami of spinal nerves?

A

Fibroskeletal structures (periostium and ligaments), and meninges innervated by recurrent meningeal nerves and synovial joints, intrinsic back muscles and spinal nerves and nerve roots innervated by posterior rami

38
Q

What are the most common types of back pain?

A

Muscular, joint and fibroskeletal pain

Q

What is joint pain in the back?

A

Usually the result of osteoarthritis or disease arthritis

41
Q

What is fibroskeletal back pain?

A

Cervical spinal nerve (suboccipital nerve)

43
Q

What is the cauda equina of the spinal cord?

A

Bundle of anterior and posterior roots from the lumbosacral enlargement and medullary cone

44
