Gross - Superficial, Intermediate and Deep Back and Vertebral Region Flashcards
The spinous process of this cervial vertebrae is very long.
C7
The spine of the scapula is located on this side of the scapula
Posterior
What is the purpose of the processes of the vertebrae?
Muscle and ligamnet attachment
What is the purpose of the facets of the vertebrae?
Articulation and restriction of movement
This achors the vertebral arch to the vertbral body
Pedicle
What is the function of the vertebral body?
Support weight
This process of the vertebrae serves to limit motion
Superior articular and inferior articular processes
The joint between C1 and occipital bone
Alantooccipital joint
The joint between C1 and C2
Atlantoaxial joint
Ligament that is found in the spinal canal
Posterior longitudinal ligament
The upper part of the posterior longitudinal ligament
Tectorial membrane
What is the function of the tectorial membrane?
Structural support
This is an extension of the vertebral body of C2
Dens
The arch of C1 articulating wth the dens of C2 acts as this
Axis of rotation
The spinal cord ends at this vertebrae
L2
Where do the posterior and anterior rami from the spinal nerves exit the vertebrae?
Anterior and posterior foramina of the sacrum
This splits into the anterior verteral canal branch and posterior vertebral canal branch
Spinal branch ofthe lumbar artery
This supplies the surface depth of dense compact bone
Equatorial branch
These serve the body of the vertebrae
Nutrient arteries
The nutrient arteries are a branch of this
Anterior vertebral canal branch
This nerve serves the meninges and dura layers in the spinal periosteum and bone
Recurrent meningeal nerve
This helps maintain thermal regulation of the spinal cord
Internal vertebral plexus
Veins that run throughout the long axis of the spinal cord
Anterior and posterior spinal veins
There are how many veins for every spinal artery?
2
Group of back muscles that anchor the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
Superficial
Group of back muscles that assist in respiration amd proprioception
Intermediate
Group of back muscles that maintain posture and act on vertebral column
Deep
These muscles comprise the supericial back muscle group
Trapezius Latissimus dorsi Rhomboid major Rhomboid minor Levator scapulae
If there are two muscles named major and minor, this one is posistioned superiorly
Minor
Action of the trapezius muscle
Elevates, depresses and retracts scapula
The nerves that serve the trapezius muscle
CN XI (Accessory), C3 and C4
Nerve that provides motor control of the trapezius muscle
Accessory
Nerves that provide proprioception to the trapezius m.
C3 and C4
Vasculature of the trapezius m.
Transverse cervical vessels
Plexus of nerves, arteries and veins that run along the medial scapula on the deep surface of the trapezius m.
Subtrapezial plexus
Nerve and artery that is found in the subtrapezial plexus
Transverse cervical artery and Accessory nerve
Action of the Latissimus dorsi m.
Adduct, extend and medially rotate the humerus
