Q

What are the bones/articular surfaces in the trunk/lumbar spinal joint?

BONUS: How do they differ to other bones in the spine? Why?

A
  • The lower 5 vertebra of the spine, referred to as L1-5.
  • L5 connects to the top of the Sacrum which fits between the two pelvic bones.
  • B: Compared to the rest of the spine, lumbar vertebra are taller and bulkier, partly due to its responsibility concerning weight bearing.

Q

Outline ligaments in the trunk/lumbar spinal joint

BONUS: Outline each of their function(s)

A

  • Each facet joint is surrounded by a joint capsule which is largely made up of ligament.
  • Lumbar ligaments are arranged in layers and multiple directions which aid in connecting this part of the spine to the sacrum and pelvis.
  • Ligamentum flavuum

A

The main blood supply to the spinal cord is via the single anterior spinal artery (ASA) and the two posterior spinal arteries (PSA).

Q

What are the two supporting structures for both the lumbar and cervical spinal joint?

A
  1. The spinal canal, which is the tunnel formed through the connected rings found on each vertebra itself provides a protective structure for the spinal cord
  2. Intervertebral discs are a special structure which sits in between each vertebra and primarily function as shock absorption.

Q

Outline ligaments of the hand

BONUS: Describe their function

A
  • Collateral ligaments are on either side of each finger and the thumb to prevent abnormal bending of these digits.
  • The volar plate, the strongest ligament in this part of the body, surrounds the knuckles and enables straightening of the joints whilst preventing them from bending back too much/hyperextension.
  • Pulleys are tunnels in the digits that are made of ligaments which help hold the tendons of the fingers against the bones.

Q

Outline ligaments preset in the hip

A
