1.)
sacrococcygeal cornu
2.)
sacrococcygeal ligament
3.)
sacrococcygeal joint
where does a caudal epidural agent spread to?
S2-Co1 nerves
nucleus pulpous
soft, inner jelly like part of an intervertebral disc
anulus fibrosus
outer ring of fibrocartilage of an intervertebral disc
1.)
interspinous ligament
2.)
supraspinous ligament
3.)
anterior longitudinal ligament
4.)
posterior longitudinal ligament
5.)
ligamenta flava
6.)
zygapophysical joint cavity
what do the ligamenta flava do
connect laminae of adjacent vertebral arches
maintain upright posture
preserve normal spine curvature
what do the zygapophysical joint cavities do
synovial joints that allow gliding movements
where does the spinal cord run through specifically
C1-L1 or L2
what are cranial nerves
12 pairs of nerves traveling back to or from brain
what are spinal nerves
31 pairs of nerves traveling back to or from spinal cord
what are the three spinal meninges
dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater
1.)
denticulate ligaments
epidural space
above dura mater
has lots of veins and adipose tissue to cushion and protect spinal cord
subdural space
potential space only there if there is something like fluid between the dura and arachnoid space
subarachnoid space
space between arachnoid and Pia mater
filled with CSF
useful site for withdrawing CSF
lumbar spinal puncture (spinal tap)
done between L4 and L5
CSF is taken out from the subarachnoid space to analyze for things like meningitis, encephalitis, and MS
