Costovertebral joint Flashcards
locations for costovertebral joints on the vertebra
costocentral joint at the vertebral body and the costotransverse joint at the transverse process
costocentral ligament that forms part of the anterior boundary of the intervertebral foramen
costocentral capsular ligament
costocentral radiate/stellate ligament is ID’ed with which joint classification
fibrous (amphiarthrosis) syndemosis
ribs intra-articular ligaments will be ID’ed with
ribs 2-9
attaching surfaces of the intra-artiuclar ligament
the intra-articular crest of the head of the rib and the intervertebral disc
vertebrae that will have a synovial plane (diarthrosis arthordia) costotransverse joint
typically T1-T10
accessory ligaments of the costotransverse joint
SUPERIOR costotransverse ligament,
INFERIOR costotransverse ligament
and the LATERAL costotransverse ligament
what rib will the superior costotransverse ligament be absent
first rib
ligaments that will attach to the neck of the 12th rib
superior costotransverse ligament from T11 and the lumbocostal ligament from L1
attachment sites for the lumbocostal ligament
the neck of the 12th rib and transverse process of L1
function of the superior costotransverse ligament
limitation of lateral bending or maintaining lateral stability
attachment sites for the inferior costotransverse ligament
the neck of the rib and the transverse process of the vertebra at that level
vertebrae that will have an attachment for hte inferior costotransverse ligament
T1-T11
name of the space between the transverse process and the neck of the rib
costotransverse foramen
ligament that “fills” the costotransverse foramen
inferior costotransverse ligament
attachment sites for the lateral costotransverse ligament
non-articular surface of the tubercle of the rib and the transverse tubercle of the transverse process of the vertebra at that level
vertebrae that will have an attachment for the lateral costotransverse ligament
T1-T11
which vertebra will lack an attachment for the lateral costotransverse ligament
T12
vertebral couples of the thoracic spine have the greatest motion
T11/T12 and T12/L1
range of motion is the greatest for lower thoracic vertebral couples
flexion-extension
range of motion is least for which lower thoracic vertebral couples
one side axial rotation
