5 types of vertebrae
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal
Cervical vertebrae
Articulations between cervical vertebrae are not confined; allows for a wide range of motion in head and neck
Contains a bifid spinous process (divided into to equal parts) and a transverse foramen
Transverse foramina
Transmits the vertebral arteries, which form the basilar artery and deliver blood to brain
Thoracic vertebrae
Articulates with the ribs; limits flexion in thorax
Articular processes are directed anterior and posterior, which decreases flexion and extension in thorax
Face anteriorly
Involved in flexion and extension of thorax
Lumbar vertebrae
Articular processes are directed medially and laterally, which limits rotation in lower spine
Spinal cord proper stops at L1; Called cauda equina
Sacrum
Composed of 5 fused vertebrae
Sacral formina transmit blood vessels and spinal nerves to lower body
Provide stable anchoring point for bones of pelvic girdle
Coccyx
Composed of 4 fused vertebrae
Tail bone

Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral
Determining articular processes
The inferior articular process of a vertebra articulates with the superior articular process of the vertebra below it
When determining which articular processes are superior and which are inferior, it is based on their position on the vertebra
NOT their position in the joint
Atlas
First cervical vertebrae (C1)
Contains no body, a large vertebral foramen, and no spinous process
Articulates with the skull
Dens is part of the axis cervical vertebrae
https://prod-images-static.radiopaedia.org/images/19313466/fb9a1287d47ba08caf77bcb01859aa_gallery.jpeg
Axis
Second cervical vertebrae (C2)
Transverse foramen does not look like a hole when faced superiorly
Articulates with the atlas
Primary function is to provide atlas with pivot point for when head turns laterally and medially
The dens fits up inside atlas to form atlanto-axis joint, which allows rotation of head

Amphiarthroses
Joints that allow for a little movement thanks to connective tissue
Example: Ligamentous connections between tibia and fibula
Example: Pubic symphysis
Diarthroses
Joints that have free movement thanks to joint capsules that contain synovial fluid
Also known as synovial joints
Synovial joints
Also known as diarthroses
Can be nonaxial, uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial
Nonaxial movement
Permits translational movement
Example: Gliding and plane
Plane joints
Also known as gliding joints
Common where flat articular surfaces slide by neighboring bones
Typically nonaxial and limited due to supporting ligaments
Example: Wrist and tarsals
Uniaxial movement
Permits movement in one plane
Example: Hinge and pivot
Hinge joints
Uniaxial
Flexion and extension
Operates like a door hinge
Located in elbows, knees, fingers, and toes
Pivot joints
Uniaxial
Rotation
Permits one bone to rotate around another
Biaxial movement
Permits movement in two planes
Example: Condylar and saddle
Condylar joints
Biaxial
Flexion and extension
Adduction and abduction
A convex surface of one bone that articulates in a concave depression of another bone
Example: Metacarpophalangeal (knuckle) joints
Saddle joint
Biaxial
Flexion and extension
Adduction and abduction
Articular surfaces are both convex and concave
Found at the junction between the thumb metacarpus and the trapezium bone of the wrist
Multiaxial movement
Permits movement in three planes
Example: Ball and socket joints
Ball and socket joints
Multiaxial
Flexion and extension
Adduction and abduction
Rotation
Occur where a spherical head of one bone fits into a cup-shaped fossa of another bone
Permits a variety of movements
Example: Hip and shoulder
Common injuries in the knee
Tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), meniscus, and medial collateral ligament
Occurs when ligaments are stretched beyond their capacity to hold the bones together
Either from hyperextension/hyperflexion or an outward force to the knee
Articular cartilage
Caps epiphyses in synovial joints
A slippery gelatinous surface of hyaline cartilage that protects the epiphyses and prevents the bones from making contact across the joint cavity
Synovial membrane
Lines synovial joint cavity and produces synovial fluid
Hip dysplasia
When the acetabulum (head of femur) develops too shallow in infants
Head of femur cannot fit properly inside the coxal bone
Causes femur to dislocate from the hip very easily
Can eventually cause arthritis
Rotator cuff muscles
Each contain a tendon that converges on fibrous “cuff” surrounding the lateral head of the humerus
Tension produced by these muscles stabilize the head of the humerus within the glenoid cavity
Allows the shoulder to have a wide range of movements
Connections of ligaments go around the joint
