exam 2 Flashcards
fingers are on what in cranial vault hold
index- greater wings of sphenoid
pinkies- lateral angles of occiput
physiologic strains
flexion/extension
torsions
SB, R
Flexion
basiocciput and basisphenoid morve cephalad
occipital squama and wings of sphenoid move caudad
flexion shadow hands
index fingers move inf and spread apart slightly
pinkys move inf and spread apart slightly
extension
motion is rotational around 2 transverse axes
basiocciput and basisphenoid move caudad
occipital squama and wings of sphenoid move cephalad
extension shadow hands
index fingers- move superiorly and approximate slighty
pinkys- move sup and approximate slightly
torsion
sphenoid and occiput rotate in opposite directions around AP axis
named for sup greater wing
right torsion
r index finger moves sup in comparison to left
left pinky moves sup in comparison to right
SB/R
rotate around 2 axes
SB- opposite direction around ll vertical axis
R- in same direction A-P axis
named for convexity and inf motion
R SBS SB/R
R index and pinky fingers move inf and spread slightly in comparison to the left
non-physiologic strains
Lateral and vertical
SBS compression
lateral strain/sheer
rotate in same direction
ll vertical axes
named by direction basisphenoid moves
L lat sheer
both index fingers shift R
both pinkys shift
vertical sheer
rotate in same direction
ll transverse axes
one both flexed, other extended
named by direction of basisphenoid
sup vertical sheer
both index fingers shift inf (base moves sup)
both pinkies shift sup
sup vertical strain trauma
caudal force applied centrally over ant/sup frontal bone
force to sup occiput and directed from sup/post to ant
inf vertical strain trauma
caudal force applied to basisphenoid such as caudal force transmitted from bregma
a cephalad force transmitted to condylar parts such as a fall on base of spine
a caudal force transmitted over bilat post/sup parital boned or along post sagital suture
SBS compression trauma
force directed along AP axis leading to longitudinal compression of SBS may originate at naison or at opisthion
lat stain trauma
lat to medially directed force applied over greater wing sphenoid pushing it to the left or right
lat to medially directed force applied over occiput pushing the post aspect of occiput l or R
external rotations of temporal bones
force applied to left mandible in a L -> R direction yields a R externally rotated temporal bone
and a L internally rotated temporal bone
traction of 1 side of mandible due to dental work yields internal rotation on ipsi side and external rotation on contra side
C1
Atlas no body no spinous processes lateral masses act like body and articulates w/occipital condyles widest cervical vertebrae
C2
axis
strongest cervical vertebrae
odontoid process
bifid spinous process
