18
Q

Zygopohyseal JOint (C1-S1)

A

Planar synovial

19
Q

Anterior longitudinal ligament

A

Travels on the anterior surface of the vertebral body

20
Q

Joint of Luschka

A

In Cervical joints, the joint between the unilateral process of the inferior vertebra and beveled inferior surface of the superior vertebra

UNCOVERTEBRAL

21
Q

Whiplash results in what?

A

Excessive stretching/tearing of the anterior longitudinal ligament

A recoil can also result in hyperflexion injury

22
Q

What to do when fracture of vertebral column occurs

A

Hyper extension of the anterior longitudinal ligament will help realign fragments of bone to prevent further injury to spinal cord.

23
Q

Posterior longitudinal ligament

A

Travels on the dorsal aspect of the vertebral bodies

24
Q

Ligamentum Flavum

A

Pale yellow fibers that travel on the ventral surface of the vertebral lamina

25
Q

Interspinous ligament

A

Travel between adjacent spinous processes

26
Q

Intertransverse ligament

A

Not well defined in cervical region

Fibrous cord in the thoracic region, thin membranes in the lumbar region

27
Q

Supraspinous ligament

A

Travels on dorsal surface of the spinous process

Continues as the ligamentum nuchae in the cervical region

28
Q

Intervertebral discs have two parts

A

Annulus fibrosis: tough fibrous outer region

Nucleus pulposus: soft gelatinous inner portion

29
Q

Herniation of the nucleus pulposus typically occurs where?

A

Poserolaterally

At L4/5 an L5/S1 (where discs are larger and more mobile.)

30
