what is the vertebral body
large cylindrical mass of trabecular bone
weight bearing structure
what is the intervertebral disc
thick ring of specialized fibrocartilage between vb
shock absorber and spacers
what is an interbody jt
cartiliginous jt formed from superior and inferior surfaces of an intervertebral disc and adjacent vb
bound between vertebraes
what is a pedicle
short, thick dorsal projection from bone
connects vb to the posterior elements of a vertebrae
what is a lamina
thin vertical plate of bone connecting the base of sp to tp
protects posterior aspect of spinal cord
what is the intervertebral foramen
lateral opening between adjacent vertebrae
passageway for spinal n
what are transverse process
horizontal projection of bone from junction of lamina and pedicle
attachments for muscle and ligaments and ribs
what are the spinous process
dorsal midline projection of bone from lamina
midline attachments for muscles and ligaments
what is a costovertebral jt
connects the head of the rib to a pair of costal demifacets that spans 2 adjacent vertebraes
what is the costotransverse jt
connects articular tubercle of rib to costal facet on tp of corresponding rib
rib out
What is the difference between sternocostal, costochondral, and interchondral
Sternocostal- sternum plus costal cartilage
Costochondral- rib plus costal cartilage
Interchondral- false ribs cartilage to sternum
What is lordosis
Cervical and lumbar convex anteriorly, concave posteriorly
What is kyphosis
Sacrum and thoracic, convex posteriorly and concave anteriorly
Where is the line of gravity
Near mastoid process, anterior to S2, posterior to hips, anterior to knee and ankle
What can alter the line of gravity
Fat deposition
Hypomobility in the spine
Posture
Muscle strength and endurance
Connective tissues extensibility
Position and magnitude of loads
Facet orientation
Disease
What is ligament flavum
Anterior surface on laminate to posterior surface of one below
80% elastin 20% collagen
Constant modest resistance throughout wide range of flex ion with 35% elongation
Thickest
Small but constant compression/stabilization in neutral
What is interspinous ligament
Fill space of adjacent spinous processes
Resist flexion
Deep=More elastin
Superficial= more collagen
