Under compression the nucleus ………. is displaced ………. and this stretches the collagen fibres of the ……. …….. outward
Pulposis
Laterally
annulus fibrosis
What two (2) structures help to resist ANTERIOR shear at the lumbosacral junction???
Tab
Primary role of the vertebral column?
Protect spinal cord
++Structural integrity and mobility to trunk
Small changes in centre of mass will necessitate small adjustments in posture. This is called…
Postural sway
Th motion segment can be further split into anterior & posterior portion. The motion segment in general can be separated into two adjacent veretebral bodies and …..
Disc
The veretebral bodies consists primarily of….. …… Surrounded by ….. …bone
Cancellous bone surrounded by a thin layer of cortical bone
In general, veretebral bodies are built to bare….. Loads
Compressive
The role of th intevertebral disc is to…… And …..
Bare and distribute loads evenly over the vertebral end plate
+++restrict any movement between the adjacent vertebrae
In extension, the relative movement between the adjacent veretebrae of the motion segment will cause the nucleus palposis to be displaced anteriorly. As a result of this ant displacement we get ….
Tension loading on the anterior aspect of the disc and compressive loading on the posterior aspect of the disc
In flexion, with the relative movement between the adjacent veretebrae of the motion segment, we get the nucleus palposis displaced….
Posteriorly
+We get tension loading on the posterior aspect of the disc
+compression loading on the anterior aspect of the disc
Creep could occur in ……. …..
Intervertebral discs
When the disc was under a compressive force over an extended period of time, and will get a reduction in disc height & reduction in overall stature
When the compressive load is removed-fluid moves back into the disc and height restored
With lateral flexion we get…… Loading to the side on which ….. Flexion is occurring as the nucleus ….. is displaced to the opposite side
Lateral flexion
Palposis
The fluid places pressure on the
Annulus fibrosis
As the collegen fibres are displaced outwards-they offer a resistance to this stretch and
The lateral displacement of the nucleus palposis will exhort …… On the annulus fibrosis
Pressure
And cause these collegen fibres to be stretched outwards
A these collagen fibres are stretched ….. They start to offer resistance through this stretch and exhort a ….. Back upon the nucleus palposis
Outwards
Preassure
Eventually these two opposing pressures will be …..
Equal and equilibrium will be reached
When these collagen fibres are stretched ….. Will be stored within them so that when the compressive load is removed the …. Collagen fibres will recoil and this will allow for any ….. In the nucleus pAlposis will be restored
Energy
Deformation
When the compressive load is applied to the nucleus palposis …. It will also exert a pressure onto the …. &
Inferior &superior vertebral end plates
***this will also help to transmit loads between adjacent vertebrae
Time dependant visco elastic materials=
Creep
When the trunk ROTATES we get …. & …..forces
Tension & sheer forces being produced in the intervertebral discs
Collagen fibres of the annulus fibrosis that are …. It’s the direction of rotation, will become … and the fibre that are aligned perpendicular to those will be ….
Aligned
Taught
Slackened
***this is further complicated by GREATER loads in rotation
With any standing and sitting we get a noticeable…..
Increase in interdiscral pressure
If we combine trunk flexion with ….. .. ….. We get a considerable increase in interdiscral pressure
Carrying a load
Normally, the centre of mass of the head arms and trunk, is quite close to the axis of rotation. If we drew a line representative of weight force of the head arms and trunk, we’d find that the length of the moment arm in relation to this axis of rotation in the spine, would be quite small and therefore the internal moment that needs to be generated will also be relatively small.
As we flex the trunk we will get an ….. Displacement of the centre of mass for the head arms and trunk . So it is going to move forward in relation to our axis of rotation in our vertebral body
Anterior
Therefore
Moment arm is the…. Distance between the line of … And the point of rotation
Perpendicular
Action
In flexing trunk, the erector spinae muscles will have a moment arm in relation to the axis of rotation in the veretebral body & it will be quite small. when you flex the trunk, the length of the moment srm for these muscles Dcreases further. This means we need to …… The magnitude of the…..
Increase
Force that needs to be produced
By decreasing the length of the moment arm for these muscles, the muscles need to produce a greater force in order to generate an internal moment arm to try and … The ….. Moment that is being produced.
Counter
External
The increase in compression being produced will create …. In pressure experienced by the vertebral column especially when a resistance is involved**
Increased
Anterior longitudinal ligament is responsible for… (3)
Limits EXTENSION OF THE SPINE
Reinforcing ant aspect of intervertebral disc
Limiting extension of the spine
Preventing anterior translation in relation to another
Position longitudinal ligament is responsible for… (2) and runs along the ….. aspect of the vertebral body within the Intervertebral FORAMEN
