Final: Lecture 11 Flashcards
Axial Skeleton
-cranium plus vertebral column
Cervical Vertebral Column Movements
- Flexion and extension
- lateral flexion
- rotation (greatest)
The atlas rotates around the….
-Dens (odontoid) process
Thoracic Outlet Syndrom
- an extra rib in the lower cervical region that can cause impingement of large vessels or nerves
- can also be caused by fractured clavicle, extra muscle or scar tissue, bad posture in head and shoulders, and anatomical variation
Transverse process
-facets for ribs (except T1 and T12)
Cervical Vertebral Column
Body: small wider side to side
Spinous Process: short, bifid, project posteriorly
Foramen: triangular
Transverse: have foramina
Superior/Inferior articular processes: directed superoposteriorly
Movements: flexion/extension, lateral flexion, rotation (greatest)
Thoracic Vertebral Column
Body: larger, heart-shaped, costal facets
Spinous: long & sharp, project inferiorly
Foramen: circular
Transverse process: facets for ribs (except T1 and T12)
Superior/Inferior articular process: superior directed post, inferior anterior
Movements: rotation, lateral flexion is limited, flexion/extension prevented
Lumbar Vertebral Column
Body: massive, kidney-shaped
Spinous process: short & blunt, rectangular, projects posteriorly
Foramen: triangular
Transverse process: thin and tapered
Superior/inferior articular process: superior posteromedially, inferior anterolaterally or laterally
Movements: flexion/extension, some lateral flexion, rotation prevented
Sacrum and Coccyx
- sacrum comprised of 5 fused vertebrae
- strength and stability to pelvis
- houses and anchors inferior part of spinal cord
- attaches to end are 3-4 small fused vertebrae called coccyx (tail bone)
Which two bones make up the pectoral girdle?
-clavicle and scapula
What are the upper limb muscles that attach to the clavicle?
-pectoralis major, subclavius, trapezius, and deltoid
Coracoid process of Scapula are…
- short head of biceps brachii
- coracobachialis
- pectoralis minor
What muscles make up your rotator cuff?
-supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor
What muscle lets you raise your arm the last bit upward?
-serratus anterior
Humerus head
-articulates with glenoid of scapula
