17
Q

What is significant about the hyoid bone?

A

Only bone in the body that doesn’t articulate with any other bone

  • anchor for swallowing muscles to attach to
  • right above the larynx
18
Q

Name the parts of the typical vertebra pictured.

A
19
Q

What are processes for?

A

Attachment point for muscles

20
Q

What part of the vertebra articulates with ribs?

A

Costal facet

21
Q

What forms the vertebral foramina?

A

Each vertebral foramen stacks on the other to form the spinal column

22
Q

What is the intervertebral foramina and how is it formed?

A

Each vertebral notch, superior and inferior, stacks to form a intervertebral notch

This allows nerves from the spinal chord to run out and into the peripheral nervous system

23
Q

How many vertebrae are there? How many of each type?

A

There are 26 vertebrae

  • 7 cervical
  • 12 thoracic
  • 5 lumbar
  • 1 sacrum, 4-5 fused
  • 1 coccyx, 3-4 fused
24
Q

What differentiates the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae?

A

Cervical Vertebra

-Only with transverse foramina for vertebral artery

Thoracic Vertebra

-Costal facets

Lumbar Vertebra

  • Much more robust to bear more weight
  • Less mobility
25
Q

Where are intervertebral discs located? What is their funtion? What are the components of an intervertebral disc?

A

Located in between vertebrae

Functions like a jelly donut to resist compression and absorb shock

Composed of:

  • Anulus Fibrosus: made of fibrocartilage (dense connective tissue +hyaline cartilage) allows movement w/o separation
  • Nucleus Pulposus: made of cartilage to retain water
26
Q

What is the difference between a bulging disc and a herniated disc?

A

Bulging disc is from so much compression that the anulus+nucleus begins squeezing out

Whereas a herniated disc is where the disc fluid begins leaking out

27
Q

What parts of the vertebrae have a primary curve or secondary curve? What function does the curvature of the vertebrae serve?

A

Primary curve

  • thoracic
  • sacral

Secondary curve

  • cervical
  • lumbar

The curvature acts as a spring to dissipate forces to the muscles attached

-distributes weight

28
Q

What are the components of the thoracic cage pictured?

A
29
Q

What part of the vertebrae is part of the thoracic cage?

A

The vertebrae has costal facets for ribs

30
Q

What are the functions of the thoracic cage?

A

Protection of organs

Expansion to allow breathing

31
Q

How many ribs are there? What are the types of ribs and what is their distribution?

A

12 Ribs total

True Ribs 1-7

False Ribs 8-12

Floating Ribs 11-12

32
Q

Where are the attachment points for ribs?

A

Vertebral attachment points are the costal facets

Sternal attachment points are the costal cartilage
