Exam II Flashcards
How many cervical vertebral segments are there?
7 cervical vertebrae
What makes C1 Atlas “atypical”
Lacks a vertebral body
What makes C2 Axis “atypical”
Has a dens (body from Atlas)
What movement occurs at OA Joint?
What movement occurs at AA joint?
OA Joint- occiput moves on Atlas
AA Joint- Atlas moves on Axis
What is the anterior vertebral line of c-spine?
Anterior line running down vertebral bodies
What is the posterior vertebral line of c-spine?
A line running posteriorly down the transverse processes
What is the spinolaminar line of c-spine?
A line running down the proximal portion of the spinous processes
What is the posterior spinous line of c-spine?
A line running down the distal ends of spinous processes
What type of biomechanical movement occurs at the OA Joint? How is it classified and documented?
OA Joint= Modified Type I mechanic
Rotation and SB occur in opposite directions WITH flexion or extension (why its modified)
Ex. OA F RR SL
What type of biomechanics occurs at typical c-spine (c2-c7)? What planes do the movements occur in?
C2-C7 biomechanics- Type II Mechanics
Rotations and side bending occur in same direction from non-neutral position
Rotation in transverse plane
Translation/side bending in coronal plane
Ex. C3 F RR SR
What is c-spine ROM?
Flexion- 45-90
Extension- 45-90
Sidebending- 45
Rotation- 70-90
What is the primary movement that occurs at the AA joint? How do you document it?
AA joint- ROTATION
Ex. AA RR
What does the thorax house? (Organ system)
Respiratory and cardiovascular organ systems
What makes up the pectoral girdle?
Clavicles, scapula, upper extremity, pectoral and shoulder musculature
What is the floor of the thoracic cavity?
Diaphragm
What makes up the rib cage?
Sternum, 12 ribs, costal cartilage, T spine, intervertebral discs
Why is the rib cage rigid?
To protect organs and resist negative pressure
Why is the rib cage flexible?
So it can change shape required for respiration
What three bones make up the sternum?
Manubrium, body, xiphoid
What does the manubrium articulate with?
Clavicle and first rib
What is the articulation between the manubrium and the body of the sternum called?
Sternal angle
What are the articulations between costal cartilage and the body of the sternum called?
Costal notches
What is the osteological feature of T spine that articulates with the heads of a rib?
Costal facets (superior and inferior) on the vertebral bodies
What is the osteological feature of t spine that articulates with tubercles of ribs?
Transverse costal facets on TP of t spine
What makes up a costovertebral joint?
Head of rib articulating with superior costal facet of vertebral body of same number and inferior costal facet of vertebral body one segment above
What ligaments make up a costovertebral joint?
Radiate and interosseous ligaments
What articulations make up the costotransverse joint?
Tubercle of rib articulating with TP at transverse costal facet
What ligaments make up the costotransverse joint?
Superior costotransverse ligament, lateral costotransverse ligament, intertransverse ligament, costotransverse ligament
