Cervical Spine Biomechanics - 2 Flashcards
atypical cervical vertebrae
1,2
typical cervical vertebrae
3-6
cervical vertebrae bodies are blank for blank instead of blank
small, mobility, stability
balance between mobility and stability
transegrity
cervical spine has a general laxity to blank and blank
capsule, ligaments
uncinate processes are not present when blank
born
uncovertebral joints are aka
joints of vonluschka
skeletal muscles near C6, osteophytes near C5, and gliding at AA can compromise blank
vertebral artery
extension and rotation causes a blank in blood flow
bilateral decrease
C1 is aka
cradle
c1 structure for weight bearing
lateral masses
oa joint is blank
planar
inferior facets of atlas are slightly blank
convex
oa rotation… both condyles are going blank but sliding blank
superior, opposite (anterior/posterior)
superior facets of lateral zygo joints are blank in c2
convex
inferior facets face blank in C2
medial
aa joint has blank joints
3
1 blank aa joint
pivot
2 blank aa joints
planar
ligament that restrains aa flexion/extension
transverse ligament
amount of flexion/extension at aa
zero
aa joint is blank on blank
convex-convex
rotation of aa causes one side to be blank and blank while the other is blank and blank
inferior/anterior, posterior/inferior
rotation of aa could go superior depending on the blank
starting position
c2 and c3 junction is aka blank
the root
fryette’s law is actually a blank
theory
blank fryettes laws
