17
Q

Nucleus Pulposus

A

Avascular, gelatinous mass

Shock absorber and semifluid ball bearing

18
Q

Anterior Longitudinal Ligament

A

Runs anterior to vertebral bodies

Limits hyperextension

19
Q

Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

A

Runs posterior to vertebral bodies
Weaker than anterior
Provides stabilization

20
Q

Ligamentum Flavum

A

Extends from lamina to lamina

Forms posterior boundary of intervertebral foramen/posterior wall of spinal canal

21
Q

A

Above Atlas

22
Q

Where does C2 exit?

A

Below Atlas

23
Q

Where does C8 exit?

A

Below C7

24
Q

Where do thoracic, lumbar and sacral nerves exit?

A

Below corresponding vertebrae

25
Q

Meninges of Spinal Cord

A

Dura mater
Arachnoid mater
Pia mater

26
Q

Dura Mater

A

Outer most layer of meninges

Has denticulate ligament

27
Q

Denticulate Ligament

A

Extends from each side of spinal cord to attach to inner surface of dura
Provide stabilization

28
Q

Arachnoid Mater

A

Separates pia from dura mater
Contains CSF fluid
Sends arachnoid trabeculae through subarachnoid space

29
Q

Pia Mater

A

Two fused layers which enclose blood vessels that supply the spinal cord
Inner most layer of meninges

30
Q

Lumbar Cisterna

A

Area from L2 to S2

CSF collected from this area

31
Q

Cauda Equina

A

Spinal nerves distal to conus medullaris (L1-L2)

32
Q

CSF

A

Mechanical and protective support for brain

Important for excitability

33
Q

Epidural space

A

Between dura mater and periosteum of vertebrae

34
Q

C2-C3 SCI

A

Rapidly fatal without intervention

35
Q

C4 SCI

A

Respiratory difficulty

Paralysis of all 4 extremities

36
Q

A

Involves limited arm control

37
Q

A

Involves normal arm/limited hand

38
Q

T1-T10 SCI

A

Causes paraplegia

39
Q

T11 SCI

A

Walk with braces

40
Q

Peripheral Nervous System

A
Nerve fibers and cell bodies outside CNS
Sends afferent (sensory) info to brain and control movement using efferent (motor) info sent from brain
41
Q

Somatic Nervous System

A

Motor - In ventral horn

Sensory - Dorsal root ganglia

42
Q

Autonomic Nervous System

A

Visceral motor - modulates internal organ function

Sympathetic or parasympathetic
