how many fused sacrum vertebra are there
5
how many coccyx vertebra are there
4
what are the 2 types of abnormal spinal curvatures
kyphosis
scoliosis
what plane is kyphosis in
sagittal plane
hunchback
what plane is scoliosis in
coronal (frontal) plane
side to side
what types of scoliosis is there and what do the associate with
osteopathic scoliosis = curvature due to BONE disease (one side of bones is fused together while the other side has too big of spaces)
myopathic scoliosis = curvature due to MUSCLE weakness
paralytic scoliosis = curvature due to muscle paralysis (also considered myopathic because one side is paralyzed and the other side has muscle issues)
what are the normal curvatures of the spine
cervical
thoracic
lumbar
sacral
how many non-fused vertebra does a normal person have?
24
7 C + 12 T + 5 L = 24
fused vertebra start at sacrum
transverse foramina is only on what vertebra
cervical
a body is on all vertebra but what
and why
C1 - Atlas
gave it to C2
what vertebra has transverse costal facets
thoracic
what vertebra has BIFID spinous processes
cervical
between what bones allows you to nod YES?
occipital condyles and C1 - Atlas
between what bones allows you to shake NO?
C1 - atlas & C2 - axis
thoracic vertebra connect to how many ribs?
24
12 vertebra. and one has 2 sides (12x2)
how many articular surfaces are found on T6?
12
tubercle of rib articulates with what
transverse costal facet
