Q

transverse fovea

A

rib tubercle articulates with transverse fovea on transverse process

27
Q

anticlinal vertebrea

A

t11; transition segment of thoracolumbar region all cd to it are cranially all cranial to it are caudal

28
Q

mammillary processes

A

start at T2 or T3 continue as paired projections through remaining part thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal regions; small nob like projections that emirate dorsally from transverse processes at t11 become associated with cranial articular process and continue as laterally compressed tubercles through remaining vertebrea

29
Q

accessory processes

A

appear mid thoracic region, located on succeeding segments as far caudally as L5 or L6

30
Q

lumbar intervertebral foramina

A

horse head shaped

31
Q

lumbar vertebrae transverse processes

A

directed cranially and slightly ventrally

32
Q

accessory processes lumbar vertebrea

A

well developed on l3-l4 absent on l5 or l6

33
Q

sacrum

A

s1-s3 fused; bulk of 4 sided wedge shaped complex lies between ilia and articulates with them

34
Q

wing of sacrum

A

enlarged lateral part; has large rough auricular surface that articulates with ilium; articulations called SI joints

35
Q

median sacral crest

A

on dorsal surface of sacrum, fusion of three spinous processes

36
Q

pelvic surface of sacrum

A

ventrally concave

37
Q

base of sacrum

A

faces cranially

38
Q

sacral canal

A

coalescence of three vertebral foramina

39
Q

promontory

A

cranioventral part of base of sacrum has transverse ridge called promontory

40
Q

apex

A

caudal extremity of the sacrum

41
Q

pelvic inlet

A

promontory and ilia form this; this is dorsal boundary of smallest part of bony ring

42
Q

caudal vertebrea dogs

A

average is 20 but can range from 6-23

43
Q

hemal arches

A

3 separate bones that articulate with ventral surfaces of caudal ends of bodies of Cd4, Cd5, Cd6 vertebrae; slope caudally, shaped V or Y; protect median caudal artery

44
Q

alantoccipital and alantoaxial joints

A

share common joint cavity space

45
Q

alantoocciptal joint

A

formed by dorsolateral extend of occipital condyles and corresponding concave cranial-articular process of atlas; lets head nod yes

46
Q

atlantoaxial joint

A

lets head nod no; formed by articulation of atlas and axis; in normal dogs cr aspect of spinous process of axis is adjacent to or overlaps the dorsal arch of atlas and dens of axis should be roughly parallel to ventral arch of atlas and joint space should be represented by thin line

47
Q

articular-processes joints

A

these joints are located in pairs between articular processes of contiguous vertebrae; jt capsule largest in cervical and region and base of tail where greatest degree of movement occurs

48
Q

articular process joints of vertebrae cranial to t10

A

in a nearly dorsal plane; cranial articular processes face dorsally caudal articular processes face ventrally

49
Q

articular processes joints of vertebrae caudal to t10

A

cranial articular processes face medially and caudal articular processes face laterally

50
Q

articular processes joints in cervical region

A

mostly lateral to spinal cord

51
Q

articular process joints in thoracolumbar region

A

mostly dorsal to spinal cord

52
Q

costovertebreal joints

A

formed by articulation of capitulum of each rib with costal fovea on cr aspect of body of the vertebrae of same # rib and articulation of each tuberculum with a fovea on cd aspect of body of vertebrae cr to vertebrae of same number as rib

53
Q
