Posterior wall formed by articular pillar

Anterior wall formed by uncinate process and IV disc

21
Q

C1 - Atlas body

A

has none

22
Q

C1 - Atlas SP

A

has no true one

23
Q

lateral masses of the atlas​ are connected by

A

connected in front by anterior arch and behind by posterior arch

24
Q

C1 Anterior Arch

A

Anterior tubercle on anterior surface

Facet for dens on posterior surface

25
Q

C1 Lateral Masses- Superior facets

A

Concave & elongated with restricted middle
Face up & medially
hold the O

26
Q

C1 Lateral Masses - Inferior facets

A

Flat, circular
Face down & medially

27
Q

C1 Lateral Masse additional surfaces other then​ the facets

A

Tubercle for attachment of transverse ligament

28
Q

C1 Posterior Arch parts

A

Posterior tubercle
Superior surface has groove for vertebral artery

29
Q

C1 Posterior Arch post tub

A

Posterior tubercle represents spinous process

30
Q

C1 Transverse Processes

A

Long and broad

Well adapted as levers for mm that act to rotate head

Transverse foramen for vertebral artery

31
Q

vertebral art path

A

travels through the transverse foramen and the at C1 goes through the groove for the vert art and the travels to supply the brain

32
Q

C1 and c2 relationship

A

C2 is the Pivot on which the atlas rotates

33
Q

C2 - Axis superior vs. inferior

A

Superior half has special features

Inferior half resembles typical cervical vertebra

34
Q

C2 Dens other name

A

(Odontoid Process)

35
Q

C2 Dens extends from where on the vert

A

Extends up from body

36
Q

C2 Dens parts

A

Anteriorly, facet for anterior arch of atlas

Posteriorly, facet for transverse ligament

Apex – attachment for apical ligament

Sides – attachments for alar ligaments

37
Q

C2 - Axis ossifiaction centers

A

C2 has 5 primary centers of ossification
2 of which are for the dens

38
Q

typical vert ossification centers

A

Typical vertebra has 3 primary centers of ossification
One for the body
One on each side for the vertebral arch

39
Q

C2 - Axis body direction

A

Anteriorly, downward projection from inferior surface

40
Q

C2 - Axis pedicales notches

A

41
Q

C2 - Axis Laminae

A

Relatively broad

42
Q

A

Relatively small

Single tubercle at apex

Transverse foramen for vertebral artery

44
Q

C2 Articular Processes- superior

A

Large oval facets face up and slightly lat’ly

Don’t form articular pillars with inferior processes, because are aligned anterior to them

45
