Bones Ch7 vertebral/thoracic Flashcards
anterior longitudinal ligaments
collagen, stability to anterior spine, prevents hyperextension
posterior longitudinal ligament
dense reg, connects to vert discs, allows for flexing forward, prevents hyperflexion
ligament flavum
elastic tissue, connects adjacent vertebrae, stretch and recoil
short ligaments
stabalize vertebrae to those above and below
intervertebral disc
fibrocartilage
nucleus polpous
inner gelatinous nucleus, elasticity and compressibility
anulus fibrosus
outer collar composed of collagen and fibrocartilage; shock absorber
intervertebral buldge
NP slips to oneside and pushes on nerve
intervertebral disc herniation
AF slipts and np leaks out
intervertebral foramina
lateral openings btwn vertebra for spinal nerves
transverse foramen
passage of vertebral arteries
c1 c2
no vertebral disc
dens
is a pivot for the rotation of the neck “NO”
lumbar articulation
does not allow for rotation
coracoid process
tendon for bicep attachment

wrist and palm #
8 carpals, 5 metacarpals
bones that articulate with radius at wrist
scaphate and lunate
ischial spine
attachment for ligament of sacrum
ischial tuberosity
strongest part of hip bone
sacrotuberous ligament
helps hols pelvis together
pubic symphisis joined by
fibrocartilage
lower limb
carries weight of the body, exceptional forces
of tarsals
7
femur
largest and strongest bone in body
fibula
sire of muscle attachment; tibiofibular joints
three arches of the foot
lateral longitudinal, medial longitudinal, transverse
