- Alar ligg. (atlatoaxial joint)
- Transverse lig. of the atlas (atlatoaxial joint)
are these short or long ligaments of vertebral column?
Short ligaments of the vertebral column
- Supraspinous lig.
- Nuchal lig. (elastic)
- Dorsal longitudinal lig.
- Ventral longitudinal lig.
are these short or long ligaments of vertebral column?
large ligaments of the vertebral column
what kind of joint are immobile and are when bones are united by dense CT
fibrous joints
Sindesmosis
this kind of joint is semi-mobile and bone are united by cartilage
cartilaginous joint (symphysis)
this kind of joint is mobile and is filled with fluid
synovial joint
what kind of joint is in between articular processes of the Vertebral Column
Synovial joint(s)
-Pivot(Trochoid)
- Plane
what kind of joint are:
Atlantooccipital joint
Atlantoaxial joint
Synovial joints
Between the vertebral arches of a neighbored
vertebrae, a space
named ____________ is formed
interarcual space
Between the vertebral arches of a neighbored vertebrae, a space
named interarcual space is formed.
That space is closed with a short and strong elastic ligament or _____________
flavum ligament
what Lig. that joint the most dorsal end of all spinous processes
Except in the cervical region
Supraspinous lig (syndesmosis)
what membranous Lig. that joint the caudal border
of a spinous process with the cranial border
of the spinous process of the caudal vertebra.
Except in the cervical region
Interspinous lig (Syndesmosis)
what is this
Nuchal ligaments
Elastic lig. Is the continuation of the
supraspinous lig. in the cervical region in dogs.
Prevent the fatigue of theepaxial mm. of the neck
Absent in cats
Nuchal ligaments
Band of connective tissue that runs in a
cranio-caudal direction dorsal to the vertebral bodies.
Attaches to the
vertebrae and the vertebral discs
Dorsal longitudinal lig. (Syndesmosis)
Wide band of connective tissue that runs in a
cranio-caudal direction ventral to the vertebral
bodies.
Attaches to the vertebrae and the vertebral discs
Ventral longitudinal lig ((Syndesmosis)
a fibrocartilage cushion that joint two vertebral bodies together.
Is classified as symphysis.
Is formed by a fibrous ring with a central gelatinous
mass or nucleus pulposus that act as a shock absorbing system
Intervertebral disc
what synovial joint resist the compression of the vertebral bodies
Nucleus pulposus
what synovial joint contain the nucleus pulposus and keep the vertebral bodies together
Fibrous ring
Costotransverse joint is what kind of joint
synovial- plane
Costovertebral joint is what kind of joint
synovial-plane
what is 1 and 2 of the ribs
- tubercle
- head
what kind of joint is between costal tubercle of the rib & transverse process of the vertebra.
Both bones have the same number
e.g: Rib 7 with Vertebra T7
Rib #7
Costotransverse joint
wha kind of joint among the head of the rib& the costal fovea of the same number of vertebra and the costal fovea of the cranial vertebra
costovertebral joint
T/F The last 3 thoracic vertebrae have only a cranial costal fovea in their
bodies
true
what does the red arrow point to
intercapital lig
Ligament that connects
the heads of the corresponding ribs from right and left sides.
Vertebral column: dog formula
C7, T13, L7, S3, Cd20–23
body surmounted by an arch that completes the enclosure of a vertebral
foramen
Typical vertebra
what is red representing
what is blue representing
red: arch
blue: body
