what is articulation
interface between two bones
facet
face that allows articulation between adjacent vertebrae
process
tissue outgrowth from a larger body
foramen
hole/opening though bine
what does a transverse vertebra have
vertebral foramen spinous process lamina x2 pedicle x2 body transverse process transverse facet articular process (superior /inferior)
purpose of the superior/inferior articular facets
articulation with the adjacent vertebrae
purpose of the transverse facet
articulation with tubercle of rib
what are C1 and C2 called
atlas
axis
thoracic vs cervical
bigger vs smaller
no bifid vs bifid process
no transverse foramen vs transverse foramen
purpose of costal Demi facets
articulate with the head of rubs
superior demi facets articulates with the same rub number
purpose of the transverse foramen in cervical
passage of vertebral artery and veins
what is each verterbrae separated by and constituent
intervertebral disks
outer - fibro cartilage, annulus fibrosis
inner - nucleus pulpous
what does axis have
dens/odontiod process
atlas and skull
articular facets with skull allowing flexion movements
