Answer 1

anterior groove, posterior groove, right and left uncinate processes

Question 2

What are the modification of the inferior epiphyseal rim of a typical cervical?

Answer 2

anterior lip, posterior lip, right and left lateral grooves

Question 3

How many joint surfaces are present on the upper surface of a typical cervical vertebral body?

Answer 3

five

Question 4

How many joint surfaces are present on the lower surface of a typical cervical vertebral body?

Answer 4

five

Question 5

How many joint surfaces are present on the vertebral body of a typical cervical?

Answer 5

ten

Question 6

How many synovial joint surfaces are present on the vertebral body of a typical cervical?

Answer 6

four

Question 7

What is the name given to the uncinate process-lateral groove articulation?

Answer 7

joint of Luschka or uncovertebral joint

Question 8

What does the recent literature suggest as the nature of the joint of Luschka?

Answer 8

the joint is representative of intervertebral disc aging which results in loss of lamellar integrity near the joint

Question 9

What is the functional significance of the joint of Luschka?

Answer 9

it appears to stabilize the intervertebral disc while accommodating flexion- extension and requiring couple motion (axial rotation with lateral bending) in the cervical spine

Answer 14

C6

Question 15

The greatest frequency of osteophytes associated with the vertebral body occurs at which typical cervical vertebral couple?

Answer 15

C5/C6

Question 16

What osseous parts form the typical cervical vertebra transverse process?

Answer 16

costal element, anterior tubercle, costotransverse bar, posterior tubercle, true transverse process

Question 17
