Chapter 4 spine power point Flashcards
protects spinal cord
vertebral canal
path for nerves
intervertebral foramina
jelly filled
protects and cushions
inside intervertebral disk
nucleus pulposus
hard outer area
annulus fibrosus
have transverse foramen
bifid spinous process
cervical vertebrae
C3-C6(has bifid spinous process)
cervical vertebrae
no spinous process
articulates with occipital bone
C1
Atlas
odontoid process
Dens
allows rotation of head
C2
Axis
has vertebral prominens
C7
have costal facets
looks like a giraffe
thoracic vertebrae
costovertebral joint
articulate with head of rib
costotransverse joint
articulate with tubercle of rib
larger body size
Lumbar vertebrae
5 fused vertebra
foramina
promontory
hiatus
cornu
articulates with illiac
sacrum
4 fused vertebra
attachment point for filum terminlae
coccyx
connects Dens(odontoid process) to foramen magnaum
apical ligament
oblique across Dens to Anterior of C1
rotates head
Alar ligament
sling posterior of Dens(odontoid process)
attach foramen magnum to body of Axis
cross-like appearance
transverse ligament
longitudinal portion of transverse ligament
cruciform ligament
thick bands
base of occipital to cervical spinous processes
attachment point for muscles
ligamentum nuchae
runs complete length of spine on spinous processes
continuation of ligamentum nuchae
supraspinous ligament
broad ligament from clivas of occipital bone to axis
covers Dens
continuous with posterior longitudinal ligament
Tectorial membrane
runs entire anterior surface of all vertebral bodies to sacrum
thick broad ligament
Anterior longitudinal ligament
runs lenght of spin on anterior inner surface of the vertebral foramen
attaches at disk spaces
thin fibrous
posterior longitudinal ligament
connects posterior portion of lamina
ligamentum flava
